John Ruy Posted April 28 Author Share #241 Posted April 28 7 hours ago, Dr PR said: John, Nice work on the sails, and nice attention to details. Isn't it interesting how a simple triangular sail with just a halliard, two sheets and a tack can turn into a plethora of blocks, hooks, lines fairleads, pins and cleats - not to mention the hanks. Oh yes - the downhauls with even more of the same! Thanks for noticing the detail Phil. I appreciate your comments. There certainly is a lot of detail. 🧐 I know I’m not getting it all perfect, but she is looking good. 😊 More interesting still is the crew coordination it takes to work the rigging to hoist the sails then sail the vessel. It was certainly fascinating to watch the Bluenose II crew on our short cruise on her last summer. It helps to understand how this stuff works.

GGibson Posted 8 minutes ago Share #245 Posted 8 minutes ago Nice work, John! Hard to get into those small spaces! Lots of pics with tweezers in the camera shot! Excellent!
