Dan Vadas Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share #1624 Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks for looking in again David, George, Kees and Nils, and also to all those who hit the "like" button . Spritsail Running Rigging I've completed all the rigging on the Spritsail. This pic shows the Jib Guy Falls (dark inner lines) and the Yard Lifts (light outer lines). I'd rigged the forward parts of the Falls earlier, now they pass through the thimbles about 3/4 of the way in from the ends of the yard and end with a single block which has an eye stropped into it's ****. The tackle for the falls has a block and hook attached to the Cathead, and the fall passes through the block in the fall and ends at a timberhead. The Lifts start at the yard cleats, pass through the thimbles at the end of the jibboom and tie off to a cleat on each side of the bow : The Halyard has two single blocks, one with an eye and both with hooks. One hook is attached to the thimble in the centre of the yard, the other hooks to the eyebolt under the cap. The fall runs to a timberhead on the starboard side of the bow : The previously attached Standing Lifts lash to another hook and thimble which go into the eyebolts either side of the cap : The light colored lines in the shape of a "W" are the Braces. The standing parts of these are very long, as they start on the Forestay where the attach via a clove hitch in it's centre, through the blocks on each end of the brace pendants on the yard, up to the blocks under the mast top, down through the sheaves in the inner ends of the Bitts, and tie around the timberheads above them : At this stage I haven't done any "faking down" (coiling the lines around the belaying points) of any of the lines. That will come when I've finished all the rigging.

Dan Vadas Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share #1631 Posted April 2, 2015 Once again a big thank you for your overly kind comments George, Dave, Greg, David John and Nils. Crossjack The Crossjack is much simpler to fit with blocks than the two previous yards, as this yard doesn't carry a sail. The only blocks are a 10" block for the Sling, two 10" Quarter Blocks, the usual two Lift/Topsail Sheet blocks at the outer ends, and two Brace Pendants : The brace pendants are lashed to the yard about 4 feet from the ends to improve their lead : Instead of Jeers like on the other two lower yards the Crossjack is supported by a Sling. This has a small eye spliced into one end, passes through the Sling Block, and goes around the mast above the shrouds. The end of the sling goes through the eye and is seized back to itself : A Truss is fitted in similar fashion to the other yards, except there is only one thimble and fall. The fall of the truss has a single block stropped to it. The standing part of the tackle goes through the eye of the strop, through another single block with a long strop and hook, back through the upper block, and belays to a timberhead : The lower truss tackle block hooks into an eyebolt in the port mizzen channel : Danny AON, Mirabell61, Piet and 15 others 18 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

Dan Vadas Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share #1638 Posted April 8, 2015 Once again thanks for the comments George, Greg, Skybolt, Michael, Ben and Kees . Mizzen Mast Cleats There are six cleats to be fitted near the foot of the Mizzen Mast. These would have been considerably easier to fit before the mast was stepped . To mass produce the cleats I tack glued about 10 (some spares) pieces of 5mm x 1.5mm x 0.8mm pieces of english box together. When dry I filed them to shape : Then I dropped the unit into Isopropyl for half an hour and seperated them : The hard part was gluing them to the mast with the shrouds getting in the way a bit : Danny rtropp, WackoWolf, GLakie and 15 others 18 Quote Cheers, Danny ________________________________________________________________________________ Current Build : Forced Retirement from Modelling due to Health Issues Build Logs : Norfolk Sloop HMS Vulture - (TFFM) HMS Vulture Cross-section 18 foot Cutter Concord Stagecoach 18th Century Longboat in a BOTTLE CARD Model Build Logs : Mosel Sydney Opera House (Schreiber-Bogen) WWII Mk.

They are 1.5mm in diameter : The Throat Halyard block is supported in a sling which goes over the bolsters in the mizzen top : The Parrel is knotted on one side of the jaws, goes around the mast and back through the hole in the other side.

It reaves through the large jeer block under the Top on one side, through the block in the centre of the yard, back up through the other block under the top, and finishes with another double block : The tackle of the jeer falls.
