Recommended Posts

Sorry for the delay in posting a reply. This is the current progress on the foresail, over the past week:

I got the sheet belayed, the two pairs of martnets and buntlines in and belayed, and the reef tackle done. Up next is the clew line (and the main top toggles as a whole), the parrel lines/tackles, and a bunch of rope coils.

Another issue: the painting I have largely based my decisions off of does not depict the ship with swivel guns, and neither do the diagrams in the Landstrom book. For this reason, I will instead be covering the railings with waistcloth. This should in theory make the railings less offensive to look at. The waistcloth will be a simple strip of red-painted silkspan, nothing fancy.
