Hello,

 

I have been working on finishing the shrouds for the foremast and also pre-rigging and mounting the foremast top sail.

I now ran the rigging thru the ship to makes sure everything is where it should be. However, at this time, nothing will be fastened or leveled until all the sails are on the foremast and I am sure of where the lines will end on the deck. So everything is still loose!

Hello.

 

Still working on mounting all the sails!

 

Continuing on, I now rigged and installed the middle foremast stay.

At this point, most of the running rigging is not fastened to the deck until I am sure of where everything goes on the deck.

However, I did finish the rigging to the center rail.

On a side note, I took the opportunity to head up to the Peabody Senior Center and had a lot of great folks help me mill out the base for my ship, using their equipment. I am still a few months away from finishing, but I wanted to get going on the case!

I bought some cherry and and milled out the shape I wanted.

 

The top groove will be where the plexiglass will be inserted and the side groove is where the felt covered plywood base with fit into.

The black felt will be put onto the plywood and wrapped around the edges and stapled to the back.

Over the next couple of months, I will work on finish sanding, staining, and sealing the pieces with polyurethane before assembling all the pieces.

 

Thanks for visiting and for all the previous "likes"

Nice update. You're almost at home port. Case will add the final great touch.

Thanks Michael,

 

I am still a few months away from being done, (Finish bowsprit sails, upper railing system, rigging of lower sails, anchor buoys, stern lantern and flags), but starting on the base is a nice little diversion and break from all the rigging on this ship.

Hello,

 

I have been working on the bowsprit topsail.

When I made the sail, I cutoff about 1/3 of the sail so that it would furl better.

However, I think I should have cut off about 1/2 of the sail instead. (this sail is unusually large compared to the yard) When I furled this sail, it still looks a little too bulky. 

Oh well! I am pretty sure that when I put tension on all the running rigging attached to this sail I will be able to flatten it some more. We'll see.

 

Sail mounted onto yard.

Next I will be finishing the standing rigging from the bowsprit mast to the foremast lower stay.

Then I will work on attaching and mounting the spritsail.

 

Thanks for visiting and for the "likes"!

Hi Frank - outstanding work on those sails.

 

Mark

Thanks Mark!

 

As I stated above, I wasn't too happy about the bulkiness of the bowsprit topsail. However, I am confident I can repair the look when I finish the rigging. If not, back to the sewing machine!

Last night I furled the lower spritsail (photos coming soon), and I was much more satisfied with the way it looked on the yard.

 

Finishing up with the rest of the standing rigging now.

 

Thanks for your comments, it is appreciated.

Continuing to make some progress on the model!

 

I finished up all the standing rigging by installing the lines from the bowsprit to the lower foremast stay.

That should do it for the standing rigging.

 

post-951-0-97150700-1448162796_thumb.jpg

 

I also finished working on and installing the last sail. The lower spritsail.

 

As with all the other furled sails, I took off 1/3 of the sail height in order to make the furling easier. Then I attached the sail to the yard.

post-951-0-92963000-1448162808_thumb.jpg

 

I liked the way this furled sail turned out. (Better than the topsail!)

I fixed the sail to the bowsprit and finished most of the rigging.

I left some of the rigging dangling until I rig the bowlines from the foresails. (It will be easier getting the bowlines in place before the rest of the lines are installed)

Next, I will go back to finishing the rigging lines from the foresails and the bowlines from the main sails. (Basically, work on the lines between the foremast and mainmast)

Frank,

 

As you know..I have a folder of all of your sails work. Hoping to emulate your work, as well a Karl's, and (Ulises wonderful rigging). Not sure I can get to all of your levels of work. Wood is my friend, and I so enjoy those parts of the build, but cloth, and rigging, Hmmm? I will see about that next new challenge. 

 

Though I do have great sages whom I am following (:-) and BTW my build is going soo slow (;-(

 

Your ship is so beautiful,Thanks for following mine as well.

 

Michael

Hi Karl!

 

Thank you for your "big help" in helping me get the sail sizes and configurations correct! Your very fine log got me started into finishing my Corel ship with the addition of sails!

Overview of work between the foremast and mainmast.

One thing I am having a lot of trouble with is in trying to minimize the distortion of the main stays

due to all the lines and blocks being attached to them.

Hello!

 

I did some more work on the foremast sail bowlines and I finished rigging the top spritsail braces.

I am almost done with all the rigging on the ship.

The remaining lines to go on the ship are:

1. Lower spritsail sheet

2. Lower foresail sheets and tacks

3. Lower main sail sheets, tacks, and braces

4. Lower mizzen yard braces

 

I will install these lines after I finish the delicate upper railing system on the model.

 

So, my next steps are to:

1. Install and rig the stern flag pole and flag (while I can still get my hands in that area)

And

2. Install the upper railing system on both sides of the ship.

 

Thanks for visiting my log and for the previous "likes" !!!!

Hi Frank -here is a picture of what I was talking to you about concerning the clear acetate with screen material glued on to simulate window panes.

Hi Mark,

 

Thanks for the photo. I totally understand now how you made the windows!!!

 

I will do the same on my lantern.

Thanks for all the help,
