I think it looks right and good Helli, mort stoll, gieb8688 and 2 others 5 Quote Rich.

Rich.F Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share #399 Posted May 31, 2020 Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. Is anyone able to shed a little light on this? Just cant understand whats being asked.. The Crossjack Yard: The crossjack yard is held in place by a sling and a truss pendant. The sling is rigged as per the fore main yard and is of 0.5mm black thread. There is only one truss pendant, of 0.5mm black thread, for the crossjack which leads from the starboard side round the back of the mizzen mast, through an eye on the port side then down the port side of the mizzen mast towards the deck. A 3mm double block is tied into the end of the truss approximately 100mm from the deck. A 3mm single block is hooked to a copper eyelet on the deck (position shown on Plan Sheet 18), and the falls of 0.25mm natural are tied into the crown of the block at the same time. A tackle is formed between the two blocks and belays to the circular fife rail on the mizzen mast (b24). Shipyard sid 1 Quote Rich.

Rich.F Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share #403 Posted June 20, 2020 2270 days ago on the 3rd April 2014 I started this adventure, not all this time was focused on constitution there was some mutiny causing build construction to halt.. But after a long drawn out debate work carried on finally she is here, with only minor outstanding (case ) waiting ..... im happy, I have fully enjoyed this journey, but it has taken every bit of effort, skill i could. But to everyone that has followed this build log, given much needed support & advice Thank you. Henke, Shipyard sid, BenD and 8 others 11 Quote Rich.

VTHokiEE Posted June 20, 2020 Share #404 Posted June 20, 2020 Congratulations! She looks very nice; I’m sure you’re quite proud of your effort (and you should be!). I like the little touch of the launch on the base.

I did not want much to cover the Deck. So came up late with the plan for the launch boats on the sides, and The Small Launch on the base this afternoon 😅 and the large one on Deck can be moved Shipyard sid and VTHokiEE 2 Quote Rich.

Rich.F Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share #411 Posted November 14, 2020 Greetings all. I thought I would make a follow up completion post.. After a very hard long decision. Lack of space once the case arrived.. I had to sell and pass one the Victory. I ENJOYED every single second spend building talking to every one here, the help & support. I have convinced the wife for a new build but at the moment we/"I" have a a size im only can go to. So the passion for this hobby can continue.. Quote Rich.
