More or less done with the yards i'll probably glue the foot ropes to get a better shape.The spirit sail yard was a balls up on the plan.The size,location and number of blocks was wrong only by looking at the last plan sheet  could i figure out what i was supposed to do.Lucky i have all of Frank's photo's as back up,i can't thank you enough Frank for doing the Supply.Time now to see if i have the other yards set up o.k.

Thanks Augie and Popeye.I had to do a dry fit of the yards,i could'nt resist it,looking like a ship now.It's great when you can see some progress.I'll put the yards away for safe keeping now along with the anchors.Done the yardwork inside now for the real yardwork outside Augie.Hope the fish are biting.

True Augie it feels like winter already,we should get some snow and it's not to late for a spring dump for you either just after you've taken the snow tires off.

Gaff booms done,line then up properly with the rigging later on.Done my first shroud using a tool based on Franks one,i used 3 small nails top and bottom on the tool.It took a few goes to get the shroud glue to hold but got it right now for the others.

HI Ron..... the deadeye spacer looks good... you might want to cut the top of it down a little so you can see the deadeye, it makes it easier to tie the shroud to it . I hope I'm not jumping ahead here, but it looks like you set just one shroud. They should be set in pairs . Take a look at the plans and you'll see what I mean.( 2 starboard-2 port -2 starboard- 2 port  etc. )

Thanks for your comments guys.Runner 63 it's not good close up looks like she's just arrived in Aussie.Popeye i'll put a temporary rope on the gaff,good idea.Thanks Frank, i've now done one line each side makes sense to keep the mast straight,just waiting for glue to dry on the 3rd shroud,once you get the first one you know how to do it so should be easy now.

Deadeyes looking nice and evenly spaced.  And nothing like rudder chains to add some 'bling'.

 

Nice!

Good work until now but it is very strange when I see your Supplykit  from caldercraft and my Supply from Artesanie Latina, can´t belive that. In the next 2 or 3 Day´s I put some pic´s in  so you can see what I mean.....so many differences between the two kits....!!!

With best regards

Tom
