Watered down PVA glue is fine for securing the ratlines. I like to get them all square and evenly spaced before committing to glue. Just protect your deck from any splashes! Thanks Craig, I did read the manual that watered down PVA glue is supposed to be used on the ratlines but I wanted to try CE cause how fast it settles. The downside is the marks the CE leaves on the knots so next time Il try the PVA solution.

Stuka Posted yesterday at 10:07 AM Author #122 Posted yesterday at 10:07 AM (edited) Finally Finished Did the bowsprit rigging, backstays and yard lines aswell as I today just finished the anchors knots which were not the best but works the part I guess. I had some trouble finding a good anchor knot due to the hawserope being very thick. But eventually I got something and it does the job. It has been a learning and problemsolving jorney definitely but now I hope I can transfer that experience onto me next project which is the Vanguard Speedy.
