Jim Lad Posted June 17 Author #241 Posted June 17 Thanks for the positive feedback on the sails, Keith. It really helps! Thanks Paul: I think you're right, but I'm afraid I would really like to see her finished and in a proper display case. Visitors keep saying I must have amazing patience, but sometimes I wonder. 🙂 And a warm thankyou to all those who have attached 'likes'! John Mirabell61, Keith Black, FriedClams and 1 other 4
SaltyScot Posted June 18 #242 Posted June 18 She inspires me anew, John. Sometimes it's the journey and not the destination that is important. I am certainly enjoying this one.

Jim Lad Posted June 21 Author #245 Posted June 21 Thanks Nils. I'm finding that the rigging of a four master just seems to go on for ever! 🙂 John Dr PR, FriedClams, Mirabell61 and 1 other 4
Jim Lad Posted 18 hours ago Author #246 Posted 18 hours ago Another update. The 'Duchess' continues to grow sails. First two on the mizzen mast. The cro'jack is rigged, the lower topsail merely crossed at this stage, but at least she looks a little more balanced with sails on all three of the forward masts.
