Yeah? And it's nearly 1am GMT on a Friday? CONGRATS! Good on you! Or something else entirely... I don't know for sure. I'm drinking beer myself.
Cheers!

Who was said to be terribly bent....
Day 35
Did 3 1/2 hours of rigging today. The lifts were installed on the foremast.
Rigging this small has to be done in a particular series of steps in order to get precise line tension and proper belaying. First, you tie the lift line to the belaying pin and cut off the excess, insert the belaying pin in the rack, securing it and the line with PVA glue.
Mine is then lead upward to blocks, and left loose near the yardarm.
tweezers are used to belay the standing part of the line around the pin. This work becomes easier with practice, and even without eye magnification, I was able to maneuver the line around the belay pin.
Add a bit of PVA glue to the belayed line to secure it, and you’re done at this end.
Here are the tackles for the halyards and lifts for the foremast on the port side.
The yard for the fore coarse sail is held aloft with a sling and lifts, after the halyard is dismantled. A tie and halyard or just a halyard supports the yards above it.
The falls of the tackles are a bit loose because there is no downward force on the yard arms. Once the sheets and clue lines are installed, the tackles will be under more tension because they will draw the yards downward.
The foremast lifts are complete.
Progress so far.

Rigging, easy peasy. Anyhoo sorry guys had a neighbour down and she played guitar for me as we listened to classics on tube. What would you do boys?
Buythebuy Kurt, is that the Halcon or Harvey you're building?
Too much hobby, ger a younger drunk female neighbour, model ships be ******!
The Halcon. There are some differences between the two.
Yes there is and why are you still awake? Do you have a drunk young woman too?
Not exactly. I just started my 12 hour shift at work.
Awh, boo was enjoying this kit but the planks are too short...
