Great looking boat, Bob! I'm about to start the rigging on my build and am reading through the builds here to see what information I can find that might be helpful since I've never done any rigging before. I hope mine turns out as well as yours!

Thanks, Bob, for the encouragement. I know this is a simple rigging compared to those galleons where the rigging looks like a spider's web! It's just that it's my first try at rigging and I'm less than confident about the sequences of it all but I'm going to give it a go and see what happens...

Finally, I’ve gotten to finish. This was my New Jersey summer project, but because of COVID we haven’t been here In two years. The last of the rigging has been done, lines  have been tightened and coils added. The grapnel is in place. Whew!!

A great new finished model, Bob. Great job on this longboat and the Winchelsea is going the same way!
