pirozzi Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share #153 Posted May 29, 2013 so the shrouds are just approx lengths then i take it, would it be to much of a pain to just makes them up after putting the mast into position lovely work all the best 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. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirozzi Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share #160 Posted July 11, 2013 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 P. edmay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirozzi Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share #161 Posted July 12, 2013 OK, I finally finished the upper shrouds and ratlines for the main mast. I am dreaming of clove hitches. Next up is to start the yards. All will be done off the ship. Vince P. DenPink, JesseLee and Anja 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md1400cs Posted July 14, 2013 Share #166 Posted July 14, 2013 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.

pirozzi Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share #169 Posted July 19, 2013 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 P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md1400cs Posted July 20, 2013 Share #171 Posted July 20, 2013 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....

pirozzi Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share #172 Posted July 21, 2013 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. Vince P.
