Thank you Jimsky! That is exactly what I was looking for.

Moving right along with furling sails and adding the rigging on just the bowsprit and foremast. Moving to the mainmast tomorrow.

Looks terrific! Especially those headsails! Nice work. May I ask what you are using for the fabric of the sails?

I'm using Silkspan. Took some advice from Tom Lauria who has some YouTube videos on making sails.

Really easy to do and makes the sails look terrific in my opinion. I was using muslin from JoAnn Fabrics and Tom recommend that I try using silkspan. I ordered it from BlueJacketinc.com.
