James w rogers Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 She floats! Now that was a tight squeeze 😂. Hull is now glued down with pva, once that has dried I will start to fit the masts and shrouds and sails one set at a time starting with the mizzen, then the main, and finally the foremast.

James w rogers Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Mizzen mast and sail are in and fixed, 2 more to go! In the foreground is my trusty paper clip on a stick, it's so useful. 😁 JesseLee, Bruce Foxworthy, exwafoo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James w rogers Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Main mast is in. The problem with lateen rigged sails is in the absence of wind there's nothing to hold them up! So I have to set the yards and lines with glue. 😁 JesseLee, exwafoo, Onni and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James w rogers Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Gravity is sometimes your friend! At least until the glue dries, I think I'll term it 'extreme lateen riggin! 😂 😂 John Zuch, Onni, Bernard Kelly and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
