Shazmira Posted October 19, 2013 #338 Posted October 19, 2013 Randy, I can't tell from your pics, and I can't figure out how to make them bigger...just in case, I discovered when doing the running rigging that many of the rail caps on this ship also double as pin rails. If you look at the large color photos on the sheet that came with the kit, you will see them. Hoping you noticed this sooner than I did, as it is proving to be an issue getting the holes drilled now.

augie Posted October 29, 2013 #339 Posted October 29, 2013 I'm glad things are returning to normal for you Randy. Life has it's many distractions, some annoying and some downright scary. Some folks take solace in their projects. Others, like me, can't focus during those periods and need to resolve what's going on first. In any case, welcome home. Looking forward to your progress.

Shazmira Posted November 4, 2013 #352 Posted November 4, 2013 I've thought about it and see no downside.... anyone? Am I heading down a path of despair and unhappiness? or is this a decent fix versus AL's instructions of a wire wrap and then wrap some more? I have time to rethink this because tomorrow is leaf day... yep, that old horrid custom of raking and bagging a few billion leaves.... I don't know why but this is my Sunday.... gasp.... wheeze,,,.,,,, I won't touch Florencia again until Monday at the earliest because tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day... to do leaves.

Shazmira Posted November 7, 2013 #357 Posted November 7, 2013 you just alternate bead, rib, bead, rib, until you have it long enough to seat against the mast and then take the loose ends of the threads to attach the yard to the mast just like you did in the pic above. notice in the instructions the flat part of the ribs is supposed to be seated against the mast. If you look close at mine I tied them on backward, go figure lol. Quote Robbyn If you risk nothing, you risk everything!
