RGL Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share #301 Posted June 9, 2015 The research I have done showed that the Fore and main yards were braced with tackle from the topgallants when lowering a boat or heavy load. There was a sling attached to the yard to take the hook. kiwiron, maggsl_01, Captain Slog and 1 other 4 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share #302 Posted June 9, 2015 The last of the rigging. The ships longboat being brought in. Fiddly work. The flagstaff are attached and I am just awaiting the flags to arrive before she will be complete.

keelhauled Posted June 13, 2015 Share #306 Posted June 13, 2015 Beautiful ship, Greg! Nice repairs! It's amazing any of our ships survive the build. I had just finished rigging the Constitution and was attaching the stern flag, when my roommate flew into the to grab his keys off the table I was working on and snapped the bowsprit clean off! Took me days before I could even look at it. A few weeks of work and she was fine. Congratulations!

RGL Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share #309 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Job complete. Very little of the AL kit was used, and as I said to my 10 year old last night, I started this when you were a baby, it's now in this glass box and you can do whatever you want with it after I'm dead, as it's not going anywhere.

DaveRow Posted June 19, 2015 Share #312 Posted June 19, 2015 A fantastic wooden model replica of the HMB Endeavour Greg. You must be relieved it is finished. I am truly amazed at the detail you put into it's many features. It has spurred me on with my Endeavour, hopefully it will take me less than 10 years to complete.

Snoepert Posted October 28, 2015 Share #317 Posted October 28, 2015 Greg, I wish to express my thanks to all your amazing collection of invaluable photos. They have given me such inspiration to improve on my work as this is my first attempt to build a wooden ship. I am currently working on the rigging and seeing your work gives a great guide on how to install.

ca.shipwright Posted September 17, 2016 Share #319 Posted September 17, 2016 Greg, Thanks for putting me on to your build log. I read it cover to cover today. Your great build log is exceeded only by your Endeavour. I was blown away by some of the photos of the rigging- the complexity. You can hardly see through to the other side of the ship. As for cats, they are incompatible with model making. They seem to have an affinity for thread with which they love to tug on and play. Here in the US, a book was actually published "101 Things to Do With a Dead Cat". I'm sure you have additional recommendations. Well done!

RGL Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share #320 Posted September 17, 2016 Here in Australia we also have lawyers who specialise in "Family law", (divorce), who will clean you out and have you paying for multiple cats that you will never see until you die.
