Thank you, Jan
Hi Frank, now that's something I would not ever have thought of. Thanks for the information. I will not be doing it however because I would need to take the sail off to do it right. Makes perfect sense though.
Hello Kirill, thank you very much.
Hello Heinrich, there is a touch of thoughtful review developing here, I've been on this build for 20 months. I'm really really glad to be done with the sails and running rigging, that was beginning to be a bit too much. Now I'm excited to get back to all the other aspects of this ship. I sure thank you for your very nice complement.
Being a beginner myself, my opinion has little value, but despite that, I'm pretty sure you don't want more of it.
Well, your opinion has a lot of value for me. I strive to make each new effort better than before, even on a day-to-day basis with the Vasa. Now, you as a beginner taught me as a beginner a valuable technique in hull planking in how install drop planks. Just one example of how this works at least in my mind.Being a beginner myself, my opinion has little value, but despite that, I'm pretty sure you don't want more of it.
At the risk of being even more forward, it is my firm belief that your next ship will be even better because we learn so much with each model.
This is a true story. I love the way Daniels Vasa looks - his colouring, wood stain, and how the rigging and sails work in so well with this is beautiful. Cheers GrantAbsolutely beautiful Daniel!
Absolutely beautiful Daniel!
Thank you, Dean and Grant. Your opinions instill in me a great amount of confidence that I'm moving in the right direction.
It is nice to see that within a short time 2 very nice Vasa’s with sails have been finished. Daniel, you can be very proud of this impressive ship.

Thank you so much Uwe!coming close to the end - Bravo and congrats for reaching this step with finishing running rigging and sails -
now only fine-tuning and I wish you a lot of fun
Hi Frank, I can defiantly see the utility if not the necessity of these holes. They would require some form of hem or stitching around the circumference which I would not attempt to do. The crossing pattern of sail reinforcement at the bowline to the corners is something I've not seen before. Is this part of normal early 17th century design?
Ha, I see. I even have this picture in my bulk of drawings but never paid attention to the holes. Thanks for the reference.
