fnkershner Posted January 7, 2014 #31 Posted January 7, 2014 Practice does make for better sails! If you do try again. Use the same line you plan to use for sheets and lay it in the groove created by folding the hem over. at the corners give it a 1/2 twist. then you will have a small loop in each corner that can be used to attach blocks etc. The ends of this line can be buried in one of the hems and no one will know.

7 Provinces Posted September 14, 2015 #32 Posted September 14, 2015 Hi Don, I wonder what has become of your Bluenose, since I am building the same ship (also Billing Boats). Did you get the chance to work on her since January 14? I would be interested to see what she looks like!

Don Jane Posted December 2, 2015 Author #33 Posted December 2, 2015 I will be getting back to finishing the Bluenose - I now have my Gorch Fock completed so I will now have time for the Bluenose !!

DBorgens Posted December 4, 2015 #35 Posted December 4, 2015 Don, Good to hear you're back at it. Rigging is acutally the part I like best. I woudl disappear upstairs to the workshop and my family would say I was "tying knots". Enjoy your build.

DBorgens Posted December 10, 2015 #37 Posted December 10, 2015 Looking good. I did not complete the shrouds until all were in so I could adjust them together. They were a bit intimidating to me but worth it. I learned a lot since mine was a first build. Let the fun begin!
