MrBlueJacket Posted January 10, 2020 Author #247 Posted January 10, 2020 So started the main yard last night. Took about 20 minutes, it is a 5/16 dowel that is 11 1/4 inches long ccoyle, jgodsey, coxswain and 3 others 6 Quote
MrBlueJacket Posted January 13, 2020 Author #248 Posted January 13, 2020 Over the weekend, I spent another 4 1/2 hours to get the yard to the stage you see below. I built out the squared ends and yes, there is a sheave inside. There's also 10 eyebolts, 4 wires for the stunsail irons, and of course the truss. Still need to add the footropes. The jackstay supports are .020" thread tied around them. schooner, EricWilliamMarshall, jgodsey and 7 others 10 Quote

MrBlueJacket Posted January 19, 2020 Author #250 Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) The squared off ends of the yard were missing "something" - I realized that the yard flared into the square, rather than just abruptly change. So I added some filler, I think it looks a lot better now. Edited January 19, 2020 by MrBlueJacket spelling Ryland Craze, GrandpaPhil, schooner and 8 others 11 Quote
MrBlueJacket Posted January 20, 2020 Author #251 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Moving on to the footropes. I use fine wire to make them.

Check page 7 - my post of Oct 9th about 1/2 way down - shows the template included in the kit to set the mast rake. It's not much, but was different for each mast. bob porter, coxswain and EricWilliamMarshall 3 Quote
Sailor1234567890 Posted February 5, 2020 #263 Posted February 5, 2020 Each mast will be differently raked. If they are parallel (with the same rake) they don't look right. Mast rake normally increases as you move aft in a ship for both aesthetic reasons but also because if you splay them by increasing the rake from forward to aft as is normally done, you allow more space between the masts at the top which means you can carry more sail without overlapping them too much. I'm not sure what the variation is on Red Jacket but I seem to recall Cutty Sark's masts were raked 1 degree more from fore mast to main and another degree for the main to the mizzen. I can't recall the exact rake but it was in the high 80s, maybe 87 degrees or so for the main but don't quote me on that number. EricWilliamMarshall 1 Quote

rwiederrich Posted February 25, 2020 #266 Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Super job...love it all coming together. Do you have a chain sling under the *hounds* fixed to the yard? Those little boogers can be quite a handful to get just right so the yard is parallel to the deck and the truss is perpendicular to the mast. Love it.....looks so clean.

MrBlueJacket Posted February 27, 2020 Author #267 Posted February 27, 2020 The chain slings for the yards are protected from chafing around the mast by being wrapped in leather, like the main stay etc. I wrapped the chain in paper towel soaked with Elmer's and painted it after it dried with wood-color paint.

rwiederrich Posted February 28, 2020 #268 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Oh....on the Red Jacket the sling went through the tops and over the mast cap, or through the tops and around the main mast doubling instead of bolted to the mast between the mast cheeks? Interesting. I knew many designs were incorporated, but not so sure they were incorporated on clippers. Great job.
