hi all, back again after a long gap. Not much progress this month.
The fore top yard is finished with its chain halyard. The foot ropes are 0.010 black wire
while the suspenders are black 0.008 rope.
The fore yard is almost finished, missing the foot ropes. The chain topsail sheets go
to a device that is like a funny double block. Pict 4. I don't know its name.
Its made from brass sheet folded.
The crane is purchased and attached by a small brass tube with fine wire pulled through.
Next is the other two fore yards and then install the mast and the shrouds.
cheers Jim
