toms10 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share #181 Posted December 31, 2023 Finally got my first sail up along with the fore yard. All the hanging coils of rope waiting to be belayed will slowly start to disappear and become orderly…..I hope. 🤪 Tom Freebird, KORTES, archjofo and 7 others 10 Quote Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure.

toms10 Posted January 17 Author Share #182 Posted January 17 All the fore-aft sails except the gaff and spanker sails are installed as well as a furled fore sail. I will continue with the fore mast yards and work my way aft. Tom KORTES, mtaylor, BETAQDAVE and 9 others 10 2 Quote Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure. Finished: Charles W.

toms10 Posted January 31 Author Share #184 Posted January 31 Sails on the foremast installed and rigged except for the braces. Time to start on the main mast sails. Seems like there is always something cropping up to be done. I still have to install all the davits and whaleboats! I don’t think this model will ever be completed! 🤪😂 I am hoping to finish in time for the Northeast Joint Conference ant the end of April. Allowing for life getting in the way it is going to be very close! 🤪😜😁 Tom John Ruy, ccoyle, Knocklouder and 9 others 10 2 Quote Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure.

toms10 Posted March 11 Author Share #186 Posted March 11 We the day finally came, all the sail rigging is complete. The only things left to do is rig the cutting stage, attach the davits and then rig the whaleboats to the davits. Sounds simple enough…..yeah right!😂🤪😜😁 The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter! 😁 Tom GrandpaPhil, Ryland Craze, ERS Rich and 9 others 9 3 Quote Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure.

toms10 Posted April 4 Author Share #189 Posted April 4 Well I guess it’s a wrap. I completed my Charles W. Morgan today. It has been an educational and fun 2 year journey. Thanks to everyone here on MSW for all the support. Not sure what my next build will be. I will take a break for a bit. I still have a 9000 piece puzzle of the Battle of Algiers. That will be a good project to take a break with. Here are some final pics. I need to figure out how to make an album and mark the build log finished. Happy modeling!
