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!

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.

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
