threebs Posted December 30, 2023 Author #61 Posted December 30, 2023 Thanks for the tip on belaying pins. Almost none of them will be seen once the rope coils are in place, so I am not too concerned they are not quite to scale. GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 2 Quote
threebs Posted January 1 Author #62 Posted January 1 I got this far on the Mizzen yards and gaff running rigging on the New York before I ran out of cord. I ordered more and it should be here in a week or so. In the mean time I had time to work on the United States Framing. Coyote_6, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote

threebs Posted January 13 Author #67 Posted January 13 I have no idea except in a general sense. I started rigging on 11/20/2023 and finished 1/11/2024. So, 52 days. Average 3 hours a day. Guesstimate around 150 hours? mtaylor and Coyote_6 2 Quote
