Hi All,

Just a small update today. Finished Issue 111 – Fitted the Main top gallant sail. No challenges here except the masses of rigging.
That’s it for the main Mast sails.
Total time for Issue 111 – 2 hours.

Kind regards,
Garth

Hi All,

I have been having so much fun fitting the sails that I decided to jump around the issues and tackle the Mizzen sails.
I fitted the mizzen top sail and the mizzen top gallant sail to their yards.
The instructions suggest that someone hold the cross jack in place while you tie the sling. A hair clip sufficed in the absence of another hand.
I then fitted the mizzen top sail and yard. This completes Issue 112 – 3.5 hours. A small milestone for me as this completes my 100th issue. I need to go back and build the 34ft launch (around issue 6-14)

Kind regards,
Garth

Very neat work Garth.

Cool

Looking forward to next update.

Will it be the 34ft launch or more sails?

I don`t mind either, it looks great and I`m liking your work.

Well done.

Hi Derek,
Thanks for looking in.
No, definitely more sails - I'm having a ball BigGrin

I think I will build all the small boats together. I helps me to get into a routine that seems to improve on my efficiency. Bored

Kind regards,
Garth

Hi All,
Fitted the Mizzen Topgallant sails.
Once all the sails were up I decided to check the electrical again – lights still work. BigGrin

After that I assembled the mizzen bowlines. I thought of making a jig to get the sizes right, but as the angles and shape differs with each one, I made them as per the instructions. That completes Issue 113 – 2.5 Hours
Kind regards,
Garth
