Eight out of ten lifts done, only two more to add on the bowsprit, and I shall follow built with all braces :

Ten out of ten lifts done, including additions to the bowsprit, I'm coming to the braces (it was a long, long way) :

As in Sinbad's journey, I face the goddess with multiple arms, four already done (it will be the last difficult work) :

After the easy braces of the main yard (in red in my photo), I shall rise 50% about the total of my last step  :

Everything behind the mainmast is completely finished, half the work :

Last step of built : five double braces (green colored on my pic), then, the Saint Philippe will be F I N I S H E D :

The fore topgallant pair of braces and only four more pairs to put before we're done :

Here are the three pairs of braces of foresail finished, all that remains to do is the two of the bowsprit :
