rkwz Posted September 25, 2020 #1 Posted September 25, 2020 Hello all, I am having trouble working out how to rig the jib sheets for my sail-less build. Hoping for some advice from the experts at MSW ! Cheers, Ron Quote
popeye2sea Posted September 25, 2020 #2 Posted September 25, 2020 Why would you rig jib sheets if there will be no sails? Regards, mtaylor, Gregory and allanyed 3 Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler ! Current Build: Le Soleil Royal Completed Build: Amerigo Vespucci

Jim Lad Posted September 26, 2020 #4 Posted September 26, 2020 Ron, the jib sheets would have been stowed away with their sails. If the ship was in dock for an extended period, the sheets, buntlines and clewlines of the square sails would also be stowed away; but might have been left rigged if only a short stay in dock.

rkwz Posted September 26, 2020 Author #5 Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks John. That's helpful advice. I'll leave them off the build in that case. I sometimes wish I had planned to add sails right at the start of the build, but it has been a great (& steep) learning experience! Cheers, Ron mtaylor 1 Quote
