themadchemist Posted June 14, 2014 Share #284 Posted June 14, 2014 I've been a bit behind these last few and just attempting to catch up today. The deck looks Great. I must admit that I loved the windlass in wood and cringed when you said it was to be painted ... but I like it a lot. Popeye's right, it kind of steals your eyes and is the focus of the deck at this stage. She's turning out very well, but then that was no surprise. The white goes well with the lighter decking also. Your talk of hoops and pins reminds me of work/fun ahead for me. Oh the joy of repetitive piece building, when I'm in right state of mind its like a form of mediation for me. Very relaxing. One of those things you do for what feels like an hour or so, then look at the clock and realize its been 5 or 6. In the zone. captainbob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainbob Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share #290 Posted July 2, 2014 Well it’s been a month since I entered any pictures and on the one hand I’m sorry to have so little to show, on the other hand, when the HAER got the Lettie for documentaion the masts had been stripped and removed, so there are no rigging diagrams for her. So I have had the fun of trying to decipher the information in Chappelle’s book, “The American Fishing Schooner”. It’s a lot of, which one of the many ways to rig the bow sprit do I use? Big boat or small, this year or that and then is it like this boat or that. There is no index for the second half of the book, it is supposedly in alphabetical order. So you look at the drawing of the fife rail and there is information about the mast that is not shown anywhere else. So after going through it time and time again I made my own table of contents. Anyway enough of that. Before I could do the masts and spars I had to figure out how many blocks of what size and where mounted and do I use just the haulyard or do I use the haulyard jig also. I have come up with a diagram in my head that I will use, hopefully it will not have to change too many times. So here is the start, the masts. I’m open to any comments, when it comes to rigging I‘m definitely not an expert.

captainbob Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share #295 Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks Russ, Michael and Carl. Please forgive my ranting Chapelle's book really is good. Looks really nice, Bob. I'm not familiar with American fishing schooner rig. What's the angled strap from the mastheads and down around the topmasts? John John, they are not straps they are a long "U" shaped rods. It goes down one side, around the mast and up the other side, and they pivot from a pin going through the mast top. The long one on the fore mast supports the jumbo jib stay (the innermost of the three jibs). The short "U" on the back of the foremast has a line going to the long "U" on the main mast. That line is called the spring line. That's as much as I know. Bob Quote Every build is a learning experience.

russ Posted July 2, 2014 Share #297 Posted July 2, 2014 Bob: The line between the masts is the spring stay. This takes the place of the main stay. There will probably be a turnbuckle at one end for tensioning, but I am basing that off my experience with Gulf Coast schooners.
