Blackie Posted July 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2013 I am building a Harvey by AL, am doing my own thing and I am now up to the masts. I started with the bowsprit, jib boom and the foremast having looked at a reasonable number of references. I think I have the mast head correct but am open to comments please. However, I am a bit puzzled by what to do for the mast cap and the fixing of blocks for the yard and stays. Perhaps I should just add a few eyebolts but I have seen some drawings that show a metal strap around the mast cap with tabs to which the blocks etc are fixed. I have attached a few images of my progress to date and would appreciate any comments. So far cross trees and trestle trees are glued but not the top mast or mast cap.

S.Coleman Posted July 26, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 26, 2013 Maby you might have to drill small holes in the tabs to attach the blocks? The assembly is looking great. Nice and clean work.
