Hello Grant I thank you for your very cherry words and overly nice comments. I do realize that Crows Feet is not the proper term but it is the best expiation that I could come up with. Will have to do a bit of research on that one!Good morning Lawrence. Crows feet terrify me
Regards Lawrence
There's a detailed drawing of them in Petersson's book. I can post or PM you a copy if you want one.Good morning Lawrence. Crows feet terrify me

Hello Arthur, Thanks for your very generous offer on the Crowsfeet, but I do have that book. I do believe you are referring to the drawings on page 15. In looking back to your drawings and the wright up that you sent to me a few days ago I had this arrangement at the top of the Lateen Yard was also called Crowsfeet. Seams like my prospect vision is not all that good these days, I am due for eye surgery early next month, thanks for your help and understanding.
Regards Lawrence
That offer I posted was actually to Grant.

Hello Ship Mates, Today the little fellows and I have built and served the Cross Jack Sling, we still have to construct the Cross Jack Truss Pendant before we can add the Cross Jack Yard to our HMY Fubbs. We have also rebuilt the Crows Foot at the top of the Lateen Yard as the previous one just did not add up.

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I have been working on the Cross Jack Yard for the last couple of days attaching all of the detail that goes with this yard enabling a ship to sail. I had forgotten all of this detail and the more that I got into it the more surprised I became.
We will begin later this afternoon to attach this yard to the Mizzen mast.

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I have installed the Cross Jack Yard, we have built the Cross Jack Truss Pendant and added a set of blocks and secured them to the foot of the Mizzen Mast and then to a cleat on the mast it's self. We have added and installed the Cross Jack Sling. Now we can move on to the Cross Jack Lifts.
Tidy work, Lawrence. Well done!

Hello Paul, I thank you for your very kind comments and words. This rigging seams to take a lot of time or is it that I am just slowing down. Never the less it is giving me many very enjoyable hours.
Regards Lawrence
Good morning Lawrence. Getting plenty of accurate details in the rigging. The way it should be Lawrence- Bravo. Cheers Grant

Hello Grant, Here are a couple of pictures of the Crows Feet that I built on my Oliver Cromwell a couple of years ago. If you still need the sketch out of Petersson's book please let me know and I will scan it for you.

Hello Grant, I thank you for your visit to my build log on the HMY Fubbs. I do not have a hole lot of rigging information and a lot of my troubles is the lack of the Main Mast Shrouds to use as bracings, I try to do the best I can with what I have to work with. But then again I find this sort of thing very challenging and enjoyable.

Hello Ship Mates, The little fellows and I have installed the Cross Jack Lift and installed a couple of cleats on the inside of the ships hull to terminate the halyards. We have built and installed the braces for the Cross Jack Yard and also for the Lateen Boom, this was quite a task as these braces should have gone to the Mane Mast Shrouds, these I did not have to work with so after a lot of trials and errors we decided to terminate the bracing halyards and there block rigging on the outside hull on and around the Main Mast Channels, and dead eyes this is the most likely place I could come up with.
