Just a small update:
I finished the last two yards for the spritsails as well as the boomkins. Also i added footropes to the jibboom and flying jibboom.
So i finally achieved my goal to complete all the partwork until the end of this year - and i`ll be able to start the new one with the rigging.
Happy new year to everybody!DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter

Then i attached the shrouds to the foremast - but when experimenting with how to add the deadeyes - the mast kept turning around.
So i decided to secure the masts to the hull a little bit earlier than suggested in the instructions.
This way i think i could achieve a straight alignment and upright Position of all the masts easier than after attaching all the shroudsDaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter

As a little extra detail i added another mast socket to the mizzen mast at the quarter deck level (was quite fiddly to get it in the right position).DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter

Thanks Garth , Alan!
Next step was adding the deadeyes to the masttops. But here i had a problem - as when applying Tension the deadeyes tended to turn and go between the little steps we built on the masttops.
So i came up with this solution:
I added a little wood strip and drilled the holes for the shrouds.DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter

Now i could thread all the shrouds through those new holes and through the ones we previously drilled into the masttops.
This assured that all the deadeyes are now sitting firmly at the same height and direction.
Maybe this helps if anyone has a similar problem.DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter

Before moving on i added a few blocks to some of the the eyebolts on the deck, as i want to add lashings to the stays instead of just binding them to the bolts.
I think i will now start producing all the gunport-lids - which i`m not looking forward to!!DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter
