Snug Harbor Johnny Posted January 21, 2022 #2348 Posted January 21, 2022 Hey Rob, when done with the Glory (and a glorious project she is) - how 'bout trying a bigger clipper ... the Preussen (1902) with 5 masts and a hull over over 430 feet and more than a 50 foot beam. 😉 Today is a 'red letter' day for my Wasa project (dormant since March of last year). So many things have been done on the Admiral's 'honey do' list (and Winter precludes anything outside), so I just 'up and started'. Now there was much to think about in the intervening months, and think/research I did. I concluded that there was so many inaccuracies in the late 60s 1:100 Billings kit partially done (due to far less being KNOWN then), a 'standoff scale' approach is appropriate without worrying too much about what is off from the prototype - and there is much I can do to correct some key things. I'll focus on the hull appearance and just put in the first sections of masts (like in the museum) to represent her still under construction. After all, she didn't get very far with only three sails set before sinking on her maiden voyage. Wood is a fairly forgiving medium, and all I had to do was start cutting and gluing in a logical order to start making more corrections. The 'Harbor Fright' mini table saw was acceptable (although there is no fence - so a clamped piece of wood had to do) once I installed a much higher tooth-count and thinner blade I was able to find with a 1/2" arbor hole (not easily located). Discovering that the arbor threads were reversed helped - 'leftie loosie' did not work, it turned out to be righty loosie! Slow and steady she goes.

Rob Vladimir, here's a pic of "Cutty Sark's" mizzenmast. Second yardarm up is for the lower topsail. Enlarging the image will reveal the long thin iron pole supporting the yard. It's likely this added reinforcement was structural support for when the upper topsail yardarm would rest on the lower one.

Johnny Snug Harbor Johnny, "Wasa" is simply an incredible find and what a treasure trove of information she's turned out to be. Perhaps most shocking is the literal riot of color this vessel actually was. Most Dock Yard models depict a very limited pallet yet in "Royal Wasa's" case, everything is depicted in lifelike reality. I'd love to see any progress pics you feel like sharing. By the way, I have Bjorn Landstrom's "Royal Wasa" book in original Swedish. If you need any reference pics, just let me know.

rwiederrich Posted January 24, 2022 Author #2354 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I'm jumping ahead a bit here, but I think I'm going to change up my original plan of not adding furled sails and I think I will furl the sails on the yards. However, typical furling in most folks eyes means a loosely hung furl.....but I think I am going to tightly furl the sails...where they are neatly stowed atop the yard over the jackstays. Clewed and garneted down tight. Clearly a much cleaner furl. Here, again(Using this photo), is my example of her sails neatly and tightly furled on each mast when she was docked in 1877 at San Francisco. I think this new decision will greatly enhance the effective detail of each yard and will greatly replicate a truer example of a lengthy stay in port. Also, for the readers info....this form of furling was more weather tight...creating a waterproof blanket over the entire sail...preventing water accumulation resulting in mold and rot. In essence, the sail was used to protect the sail. Ship shape!

BANYAN Posted January 26, 2022 #2364 Posted January 26, 2022 Keith (and Rob), sorry not trying to confuse further, this is offered more as an FYI. The general practice, at least for the British, in this period was to use what was called a neckless to terminate the futtock shrouds at the associated lower mast. For the navy this was a solid iron band with a single (large) or individual eyebolts (usually on the futtock/truss band), or to a long 'U' bolt to which the shrouds attached. For mercantile ships, the practice was to use a chain neckless. Attached are a couple of pics from Underhill "The Masting and Rigging of the Clipper Ship and Ocean Carrier' and G Campbell 'China Tea Clippers'. If a single point was used, it was usually in the form of a 'span shackle'. The single point seems to have been more common and a larger eyebolt would successfully mimic this. cheers Pat Keith Black 1 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
