marsalv Posted January 2, 2018 Author #484 Posted January 2, 2018 Hi Johann, it is nothing difficult. Thimbles are made from brass tube 1,0x0,1 mm (resp. 1,5x0,1 mm). The tubes are cut to lenght cca 0,8 mm (resp. 1,2 mm) (see first picture) and then they are slightly compressed on both sides by a punch and hammer. So blocks for masts are prepared and partly installed on the relevant masts, now I will continue with the blocks on the yards. Dubz, Bluto 1790, Beef Wellington and 16 others 19 Quote

marsalv Posted January 22, 2018 Author #491 Posted January 22, 2018 Thank you Albert. So finally is here a moment when I started the installation of masts and related standing rigging. As first I installed bowsprit and the following ropes: gammoning, inner and outer bobstay, bowsprit shrouds. At the same time, I have prepared footropes with a netting, the picture shows only temporary attachment, the final attachment will occur after the installation of the stays.
