Totally agree Rob.  Jared, we all make aesthetic decisions based on what we know and what we think looks good/ correct.

I will choose to mount the booms in their irons, the traditional way to display them. Not right or wrong, just personal preference.

The model looks great!!!

The rigging of the flying jib halliard, outer jib halliard, jib halliard and fore topmast stunsl halliard have now been completed.  I can see light at the end of the tunnel!  I also tightened up the associated standing rigging, replacing one of the lines.
