Hi Kevin,

Since I am completely rigging the mast with all of the running rigging, yards, and sails before setting on the ship, it will get very crowded around the crowsnest and it also requires working on both sides of the mast. After it is set on the ship, I only have to lash the ends of the shrouds to the deadeyes and rattle them. All of the uppers are already completed and rattled beforehand. I did it this way for the foremast and it workrd out very well.

Hello Vince,

 

Looking good. Nice job on the clove hitches, only 600 and counting. Enjoy!

 

Take care,

Hi Mates,

I have not posted on this log in a while, but it is because I am at a point where progress appears slow and I don't want to put photos that show little progress. I am doing the upper shrouds and ratlines on the main mast. Since this ship has 5 stage masts, that is a lot of clove hitches. :( I am almost finished and will post some more photos in about 2 days or so.

Vince,

 

Nice update. Gary is correct these detail areas take so long, It seems as thought there is no visible progress, then when its done it, as yours is, looks spectacular.  

 

Regards,

Parrels for the lower yard on the mainmast. Like I said before on the foremast, the kit does not include these, but it is a nice addition. I bought little parrel kits from Amati and they are the correct scale. They are a little hard to thread and rig, but it is fun.

Vince,

 

Super nice details. You are working on the area that will "freak me out" when I get there (standing and running rigging) Yours looks so good. I will have to do a lot of studying to get to the details that you, and others are at. Congrats....

 

Regards,

Hanging the main sail. It is critical to pull the ends tight by passing the earring on the end cringle and pulling outward on both ends. The sail now has no sagging in the middle, which will cause bunching when it is sewn on to the yard. The sewing part comes next.
