Fantastic, extraordinary, outstanding ... I don't know which words describe your build correctly

Amazing metal work Peter, and that without any etching involved.

Thanks, Christian. Just some time, patience, adjust the plans and on time a re-do, thinking out-of-the box’ etc. etc.

Amazing metal work Peter, and that without any etching involved.

Thanks, Maarten. I've collected a lot over the past 40 years. You never know. (Not the opinion of my Admiral ) With some new small parts, and then it turns out fine again with old-fashioned craftsmanship.
Regards, Peter

Excellent craftsmanship Peter. It’s amazing what you fabricate from scratch.

In my enthusiasm while building both stay blocks, I forgot that there was an eye on the lower block on the 2nd cheek from port. The fixed end of the tackle is secured to this with an eye splice with a metal eye.

Placed this on the block:

And the end of the tackle with the eye attached to it.

I provided the lowering tackle with sufficient length and then lowered the mast:

I had already mentioned: "The mast was lowered by wrapping the rope or cable around the capstan and letting it slip."
1: On the lower block, the running end runs from top to bottom over the 4th sheave on the starboard side. With the mast standing, this end is then secured to the ‘klapmuts’ on the inside of the bow.
2: The cable is guided over a sheave at the bottom of the cleat on the starboard side of the mast step.
3: Then through the guide rollers, the top roller of which can be removed from a lock.
4: Next, at least 4 turns around the steam spindle.
5: For safety, the end is routed around the metal bollard on the port side.

On the foredeck:

The cable runs (almost) precisely along and between all objects on the foredeck to the pulley on the underside of the cleat next to the mast casing.

Between the guide rollers, around the spindle and to the bollard.
Regards, Peter

Thanks, Dean. I must say that I surprise myself also from time to time as well. To solve a brain teaser again.
