Elijah Posted April 17, 2017 #181 Posted April 17, 2017 Those masts look wonderful! My guess is that those sheaves will make the rigging process more easy, especially when positioning spars?

robnbill Posted April 17, 2017 Author #182 Posted April 17, 2017 Thanks all. Elijah, the sheaves in the masts themselves were used to raise the mast sections up to where they were mounted. Each mast section had to fit through the cross tree of the mast below. It is a really neat process how they rigged the ships with out needing cranes to do it.

robnbill Posted September 14, 2018 Author #184 Posted September 14, 2018 Sorry. I have had a number of non-shipbuilding issues that over took my build. However, the build is still underway I just have been neglecting updates. Currently I am working on a detailed rigging plan. I should have that completed fairly soon. Once that is completed, I will start constructing the ropes and fittings. At that point I will also be ready to add and update on the build.
