Endeavour by Bill97 - OcCre - 1/54

Hi Guys - very late to this discussion, but my 1 1/2 CENTS:

 

I was searching for pictures of the replica ship under sail, and could not find any that showed boomkins rigged.

 

Perhaps the crew employs other practical work-arounds, although I have no clue what they might be.

Good morning Marc. Welcome to this very intriguing conversation. I always say when the world seems to be going to the dogs it is good to have a cave we can get in, roll the stone in front, and just talk ship building!😊

Looks like they take the fore tack to a block on the end of the cathead:

That does seem to be the most practical solution.  I will give a look at removing the boomkins. If I can’t without to much damage I think i will arrange some sort of satisfactory rigging and call it a day on this riddle
