AON Posted Thursday at 10:35 PM Author Share #1712 Posted Thursday at 10:35 PM (edited) Made the replacement partner and dry fitted it on the deck beams with the foremast installed and the bowsprit step set on the beam and its present extra length leaning on the mast. The arrow points to it as it seems to blend into the background at this angle. The step is not finished as yet. It needs some sanding and rounding off the four top outer edges. It will also rest slightly forward of where it is now but I need to make one upper deck beam to support the bowsprit step so it can be cut to length and prove the assembly location of the foremast partner. That is my next item to make. I didn't call it a mast this time! But I will ....

AON Posted 6 hours ago Author Share #1713 Posted 6 hours ago It seems I may have made a blunder with the foremast partner. I may have added the two outer fore-aft running pieces and they shouldn't be there. What I thought I saw on the drawing seems to actually be the carlings running between the deck beams. I'll give my head a couple shakes and look again after lunch. If I'm correct, they are easily removed.
