I’m taking July off from the build to do research with respect to proper furling and rigging. I enjoy that part of the hobby almost as much as the build. Ed Thanks! Good luck...I like rigging much less than the woodworking.

niwotwill Posted July 22, 2019 Share #994 Posted July 22, 2019 Hello Rich I'm just starting my Syren while I finish rigging my Charles W Morgan and looking for a log to follow where the build is in progress I found yours and will follow. I'll read your entire log to catch up, but it looks great with the woods you've selected. I'm starting from the beginning tonight. I'll start my first log tomorrow with the Syren.

HIPEXEC Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share #995 Posted July 22, 2019 I came down to my shipyard to work when I found my ship had de-masted itself over night? I must have ghosts in my shipyard. Now I have to fix both. I'll have to pin both masts but there is precious little wood to insert pins. Oh well...ship building is always a challenge.
