lamarvalley Posted November 5, 2014 #1803 Posted November 5, 2014 Very nice job Sjors. That sure does look like lots of rope… confusing to a lesser rigger as myself but you make it look easy. Sjors 1 Quote

Sjors Posted November 6, 2014 Author #1805 Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks everyone, Questions has to be answered ,so here we go. @ Lawrence and Augie, I hate it to tell you but we don't need ( or have ) a hairdryer....... And to buy one for only one time.....nope, that's not gonna happened ! We both have hair but not that long ! When I was 18 yes, I needed a hairdryer Hair till my shoulders....... ( the gold old days ) @ Lawrence, I have plenty of space to display her. She can go to the corridor, hobby room ( with all the dust ) or bedroom. I think it's gonna be the last one. But she's not finished yet ! @ Mobbsie, It's difficult to find the way to that jungle. It's looking very carefully where the ropes are going and I have to re-do a lot of ropes.... But that's normal for me @ John, Thank you ! Sails are complicated ! But all the 23 sails are on it now There was a question from Lawrence a while back about the stay sails.....yes I have them and yes, they are on ! Randy, You are not the only one who's confused ! Count me also in please. Maybe it looks easy but I tell you, it isn't !!!!!!! When I start the next rope I have to examine closely the drawing to see where they goes ! Then with your big hands, you have to crawl over and under everything....... @ Adam and John, Thanks !!!!!!! Also thanks for the likes !!!!!

Sjors Posted November 15, 2014 Author #1814 Posted November 15, 2014 A small update without pictures..... I have to make 8 more stays and then the rigging is finished ! I know I forget a few ropes and don't ask me where all the ropes are going but I'm happy with it ! After the rigging I still have to make the anchors and the lanterns..... After that it's finished !! Mark, I don't mind that everyone is behind me as long that they don't want coffee !!!! Popcorn is no problem and if they want a beverage , I have to go to the store.

And sorry to tell you.....we don't have a dish washer ! Everything is doing by our own hands....... @ Mark, When we are moving to the Aggy, I get our lease dog to clean up the place. Take only your chair and cup with you. @ Augie, The whole fleet of Trafalgar ?????????? Over how many ships are we talking then..... Don't tell me, I look it up !
