MrBlueJacket Posted October 7, 2023 Author #94 Posted October 7, 2023 So here's jib sail V.3 Lines attached, sheet blocks on, thread tied and reinforced with glue. Should work out fine. Keith Black, GrandpaPhil and gak1965 3 Quote
MrBlueJacket Posted October 10, 2023 Author #95 Posted October 10, 2023 So the jib sail got attached without issue. Now let's see if it can be furled without disintegrating. And yes, success! Adding the drop of glue to the thread/silkspan attachment worked! Keith Black and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote

GGibson Posted October 24, 2023 #104 Posted October 24, 2023 This log just happened to catch my eye on an update, and I've been reading & catching up on your Newsboy. Great job, Nic! The deck reminds me a lot of what I'm doing on the Bluenose. And... I'm wanting to see how you do your furling!

GGibson Posted October 28, 2023 #114 Posted October 28, 2023 Nice completion, Nic! Congrats! And, yes, I've been looking back at your furling. And, also... like what you did in mounting it! Perhaps I could do some type of launching way display on my Bluenose with furled sails after all?!? Hmmm... Your display looks awesome! Will really be nice in the case.

MrBlueJacket Posted October 29, 2023 Author #118 Posted October 29, 2023 Thanks, everyone. When my customer picked it up, he was very happy. And I learned why he wanted this particular model. His older brother by 13 yrs built one as a young adult. His brother passed away, and the model was lost. So this has a lot of sentimental value. I'm so happy I could do this for him Ryland Craze, Roger Pellett, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote
