Well the rest of the foremast yards are finally done. I wanted to finish them before
mounting the foremast so that they could just be hung later. The sheets on the top yard
and topgallant yard are strange in that a chain goes through the sheave at the tip of the
yard and then rope is used to go down to the deck. Its on the plans.
The footropes are wire and the suspenders are thread.
The first 2 pics are the top yard, the second 2 are the topgallant yard and the third 2 are
the royal yard. Finally the yards sort of hung on and look sloppy without the braces
and last showing the chain halyards on the movable yards.
cheers Jim
