Many thanks everyone.
The main topsail yard is finished with the topgalant sheets and top clew lines on.
Also started on the mizzen mast. The mizzen gets no respect.
Not only is it smaller but on this ship it is wood while the fore and main are steel.
The top will need fittings for shrouds with braces down to the mast.
The top frame is made of 0.005 inch brass sheet.
It can be cut with scissors so is kind of like paper, but much stronger.
cheers Jim
