72Nova Posted Saturday at 09:58 AM Author Share #151 Posted Saturday at 09:58 AM A small update, I used .35mm line for the gammoning and completed the topsail lifts. Up next are the bowsprit shrouds, I'm actually looking forward to rigging them as it will a first for me.

72Nova Posted yesterday at 12:59 AM Author Share #152 Posted yesterday at 12:59 AM The bowsprit shroud exercise is completed, this was much more challenging than I anticipated but I think it looks acceptable. Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

kirill4 Posted yesterday at 08:59 PM Share #153 Posted yesterday at 08:59 PM "bowsprit shroud exercise is completed "- I would like to say, they look very good!!! As I could see, this is the only one ship in the world , with this specific arrangements like bowsprit shrouds?

72Nova Posted 22 hours ago Author Share #154 Posted 22 hours ago In my limited research I haven't seen any rigged this particular way, Lee's does not make reference to them nor does Anderson, Don Dressel mentions they didn't appear until after 1700 and that maybe true but the painting by Payne which I believe is around 1657 and way too early, clearly shows them. I did find a build of the Le Rochefort 1787 that has them but rigged entirely different, looks like they start from the tip of the bowsprit with a lanyard and run almost Parrell being made fast by the cathead, perhaps this is what Mr. Dressel meant? Don did not rig them on his SoS. Thank you for the compliment, Kirill. Cheers!

Hubac's Historian Posted 7 hours ago Share #155 Posted 7 hours ago That is really interesting how they are rigged with deadeyes on one side - well done! Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72Nova Posted 53 minutes ago Author Share #156 Posted 53 minutes ago Thank you, Marc, I've seen them rigged with lanyards on both sides but to me doesn't really make sense since they're not attached to the bowsprit itself.
