Hoppy Posted February 2, 2021 Author #33 Posted February 2, 2021 After another very long time away from the build, I am back at it. Since my last post I have finished with the hull and deck fittings and I am now on to building the masts and yards. Dfell 1 Quote
Hoppy Posted February 8, 2021 Author #34 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) More progress. Both masts are now built. However, I think that I shouldn't have fully built them until the shrouds were in place, but that's how you learn. Big question that I am struggling with now. From here, do I add the shrouds and standing rigging then attach the yards? Or is it better to add the yards then standing rigging? I am finding that the instructions are not 100% clear on this.

Jobbie Posted February 10, 2021 #35 Posted February 10, 2021 As per my Facebook post, I'd personally finish the shrouds and ratlines before anything else. I'd make sure all the blocks that should be under the fitting tops are in place. She's looking great.

Thanks again for the advice. Jobbie and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote
