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. mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 2
threebs Posted January 1, 2024 Author #62 Posted January 1, 2024 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. GrandpaPhil, archjofo, Coyote_6 and 3 others 6
threebs Posted January 8, 2024 Author #63 Posted January 8, 2024 About 3/4 of the running rigging on the New York is done. I am making the belfry and the braces blocks will go on soon. mtaylor, ccoyle, Coyote_6 and 3 others 6

wmherbert Posted January 12, 2024 #66 Posted January 12, 2024 Very impressive! Any idea how many hours for the standing and running rigging? Bill mtaylor 1
threebs Posted January 13, 2024 Author #67 Posted January 13, 2024 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? Coyote_6 and mtaylor 2
