I am busy adding the deadeyes, all 32 of them to the shrouds of the tops.

Must admit there are times when a 5 minute break is called for but only two deadeyes more to go.

As I was searching on the floor for the umteenth time to find yet another deadeye that went ping I was wondering how much rigging there was on the actual Victory.

Well one Google search later gave me the answer 26 Miles yes thats right 26 Miles.

If my maths is correct that = 45760 yards
which on our scale of 1:84 = 545 yards or nearly the length of 5 football pitches.

Thats a lot of twine
