threebs Posted August 13 Author #32 Posted August 13 Except for rigging the anchors and stowing the ship's boats on their davits, all the running rigging I will be doing is done on the United States. Here I have finished the braces, and the fore and main yard clue and sheet lines. The ship's boats are next. Dziadeczek, mgatrost, mtbediz and 8 others 10 1 Quote
