One recommendation I would have on ratlines is make sure you have enough thread......nothing is worse than skimping and trying to fight the knots at the end with no room for error...and the more you try the more they fray lol. Things went better when I cut a little extra length :) :) :)

I've put some time in recently and not taken any pictures. I have been trying to rig the sails on........I will say I have hooked my thread on every possible thing multiple times. I even threaded some parts together and had to pull out my work lol. I will post a pic when I am ready. I will say I think it's quite a transformation when you get sails on this baby :) :) :)
