Bill97 Posted July 23, 2023 Share #96 Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) KarenM your build was referred to me by Marc (Hubac’s Historian). He suggested I read through your build to witness the master job you are doing. I must compliment you your beautiful ship. I am building the Heller Soleli Royal as can be seen here on MSW. I had a general opinion question about how long do others wait before adding the ratlines? Once they are in place it does make accessing some of the rigging around the deck a bit more difficult. However it is important to add the ratlines as soon as possible. I see on your build you have added the ratlines soon after the shrouds.

KarenM Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share #98 Posted July 23, 2023 I knit ratlines immediately after installing the shrouds. Then there are difficulties when wiring the rigging, and I have to use tweezers. More interfere with knitting the rigging of the guy, and not the ratlines. Knitting ratlines after running rigging will be much more difficult. Hubac's Historian, mtaylor and KentM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill97 Posted July 24, 2023 Share #99 Posted July 24, 2023 Gregory the only reason I say that, usually I want to wait as long as possible so I am more easily able to access the interior during rigging, is because the Soleli Royal instructions show a large number of blocks tied to the shrouds at particular ratline positions. So I am assuming before I can I can do the rigging that uses those blocks I will need to add the ratlines so I know where to tie the block. mtaylor and Gregory 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill97 Posted July 24, 2023 Share #100 Posted July 24, 2023 KarenM I am building the Heller Soleli Royal. I am working on the fore and Mainstay. I like the way you extended the length of the mainstay collar to go around the bowsprit over the beakhead bulkhead (under the rail) and aft of the foremast. I see in your pictures you have a heart on the end of the mainstay. I cannot tell in the photos, do you also have a heart attached to collar? I am wondering if that is how you set the mainstay up to the collar? I am using large 3 sheave blocks instead of hearts. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
