Before moving on to making and adding the boomkins I decided I should add both the jibboom and flying jibboom so the fore topsail and fore topgallant stays could be rigged.

The first two photos show the jibboom and flying jibboom in place.

The dolphin striker was also added. As you will note, when looking at the photo, I made an error with where the fore topsail sail stay should be reeved. I used the upper hole rather than the middle hole. I only realised this error after I had added the thimble to the stay end. I concluded that I could accept this mistake rather than running in a new stay.

Both stays are belayed using thimbles, with the reciprocal thimbles for each stay hooked to eyebolts on the bow, as can be seen in the next photo.

The next photo shows the foremast with the all the various mast stays in place.

The final photo of this post shows the current status of the Harpy rigging.
