Jim Lad Posted June 7, 2013 Author #242 Posted June 7, 2013 We're not going just yet - but long before the Stag has any hope of being finished! John Quote
Jim Lad Posted June 12, 2013 Author #243 Posted June 12, 2013 The spiders have been busy on the Stag again. The headsail rigging is now in place and the boom is set up, but not fully rigged as yet. The gaff has also been fitted but is still awaiting its rigging. She's really starting to look like a cutter now. The line running from the peak of the gaff to the masthead is a temporary expedient to hold the gaff in position until the peak halliards have been rigged. This will be the last update for a while as we're off to Queensland next week to visit family. John Stockholm tar, jaerschen, Piet and 3 others 6 Quote

Jim Lad Posted June 15, 2013 Author #253 Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks, Mark - I'm pretty pleased with the progress so far, but it's going to get pretty crowded under the for end of the cross trees once the lower square yard is rigged! John Quote

Jim Lad Posted August 7, 2013 Author #255 Posted August 7, 2013 Well, I was in at the museum again yesterday, but didn't take any photos. I didn't get a lot done on the model as there's been a lot happening at the museum while I've been away and I spent some time just catching up with the gossip and then figuring out just where I'm up to with the rigging. When I finally started work, I put a bit of pressure on the upper throat halliard tackle and the upper block strop carried away (RATS! ). I was a bit surprised as I've never had that happen before, and I then spent most of the rest of my time remaining in clearing away the halliard and then re-rigging. Oh, well - at least it was good practice. John Quote
