Hey, Mustafa,

Thanks to Jon's contribution on the previous page (recapped below),

I just noticed that there's a hole in the center of the curtains/carved boards for the rope required to pull up the gunport lid from inside.  Since you already glued yours onto the hull, have you decided not to add the rope?  It seems to me that you could have drilled these holes more easily before mounting the curtains vs. using a pin vise now - unless the plan is to exclude the ropes from the build.

(yes, I have too much time on my hands 😁).

Yes Peter, I will not add those ropes because I needed to get the ropes out of those holes before I built the spar deck. But unfortunately I cannot do that as the gun deck is no longer accessible.

I installed 8 carronades with breech ropes at the starboard side.

And of course, you seized the breach lines to eyebolts BEFORE you glued the eyebolts into the bulwarks.  To borrow a phrase from a contemporary cartoon character, doh!

 

I guess I will be cheating and using hooks instead. There's no way I can seized these now that my eyebolts are already glued into the bulwarks.

 

Two steps forward, one step back..
