As ever some very neat and tidy work you are doing there.

Rigging looks really good and all nicely tensioned - you certainly are a master builder thats for sure.

Happy Modelling

Thanks John!

I attached the boomkins and the gangboard.

Main stay and preventer were rigged. I used 1.3mm thread for the main and 0,75mm for the preventer.

Thanks guys!

Next step were the remaining main- and preventer stays.

The snaking between the stays was quite fiddly and i am not completely satisfied with my result at the mainstays.

At the mizzen-stays i added some pulleys (is that the right english word?).
