Thanks Mike, Birder and RDK.
A little more progress on the Conrad.
The main top yard is finally in place and the lines belayed.
The sheet lines go to the main pinrail via a pair of blocks, the after ones.
The clew lines go to the side pinrails via the holes in the top.
Some progress on the mizzen mast. The piece on the after side is for tying on the sail.
The black blobs are supposed to be openings for the ropes.
This ship uses the style of spanker sail where the gaff does not move, the sail is tied to
the mast and the sail is drawn out on the boom and gaff with a tackle.
cheers Jim
