Nice one Ron - the furled sails look really good but I doubt that Supply would be able to get up on her foils in that configuration!

 

Cheers

looks good Ron, you'll be finished before you know it !!

[kiwiron]

Thanks for your comments men.One more major step done.Now for plan sheet 5 and some block threading should be good.

[DenPink]

Hi Ron

Very pleased to see you have the middle sails in the correct position for furled sails.

Very nice work.

 

Denis.

[kiwiron]

Thanks Denis,thats just going by the plan,i read about that somewhere as well.Ron.

[popeye the sailor]

spanker sail looks really good.......just like it would     are there to be stay sails?

[kiwiron]

Hi Popeye,is the spanker the sail at the back?Do the stay sails go on the bow sprit?If they do i think they are the ones in the repair shop.

[augie]

Staysails go on the stays like the mainstay and forestay.  Generally triangular they fit between the masts in the same orientation as the spanker.

 

Possibly more candidates for the repair shop !

[riverboat]

I made a bo-bo on my yards ....... looks like my fore and main mast upper yards are set in the wrong position after looking at yours.

I really like the way yours are positioned, but I'm not going to change mine...... too many ropes tied off now to mess with. Another learning curve under my belt

Frank

[popeye the sailor]

at the bow,  you have the jibs.........I believe with your ship,  there should be two stay sails.  if your kit doesn't show them,  then I wouldn't worry about them.   I would think that with your sails the way they are,  the stay sails would probably have been taken down.

[kiwiron]

Frank they look great where they are,the people that will see it and my mistakes won't know it.

[kiwiron]

Thats right Popeye,The guys who repair the stay sails came with a donkey cart yesterday to pick them up,he was shaking his head at the condition of them so could be a long repair,dragging on and on like the Americas cup.

[kiwiron]

More rigging done.

Hi Ron,

 

Been a while since I dropped by and all I can say is WOW.

 

Sails look fantastic. Nice work.

 

Cheers

Slog

[augie]

She looks terrific Ron.  I'm looking forward to the running rigging.

[Dfell]

Ron - all looking absolutely fantastic! You really have done a lot of work in such a short time. I won't be doing sails but you have made the ship really come alive with your sails. Again - well done - enjoy watching your build.

 

Regards

[popeye the sailor]
