augie Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share #1121 Posted July 7, 2013 The rigging of the masts and their associated yards has been completed ! Spent the last day or so doing some needed housekeeping on board. Dusting, a little touching up of the paint, some minor line retensioning and a spot of dullcoat here and there. Had to get her ready for her photo op. And a few more just to keep you-know-who happy: We shall now be moving on to one I'm particularly looking forward to ---- the Spritsail yard. If I can get that on properly I will have completed ........ wait for it......... THE WHOLE NINE YARDS :D Then we'll tackle the anchor and it's tackle, including the anchor buoys. Da_ _ed, I believe I see a light at the end of this tunnel!!!!!! Now don't expect the next update to come too quickly. Got some fishin' and flyin' to do first.

augie Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share #1139 Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks to everyone for your continued interest. You're my collective mainstay. Popeye- do you notice how the completion of every major step 'adds a lot'? You spend weeks sometimes doing fiddly little things and then BAM, it all comes together at once. I think someone said it earlier......the rigging is the icing on the cake. I've struggled a lot with it making some dumb mistakes that had to be redone. Next one will be better....but I am happy with it. Wayne ----- You've mentioned Essex before. Is she your next challenge?????
