furled sails, means "Ready for use" if necessary -> so I guess YES !
All rigging is still in place even with furled sails. The leech, bunt, clew, and sheet lines are all still rigged.
That is exactly what I have been learning. Foremast is rigged with all necessary block and footropes. Working on main, then mizzen. Doing a much as possible b4 making the final decision on whether to add sails or not. Thank you for the info
You know you really want to do the sails...
If you do sails, then I highly suggest that you turn your Yards at an angle. Rarely a ship will be 'with' running on the wind with the yards at 90° offset to the mast. I suggest about a 20° offset. Just an opinion. Then you have to decide at which 'good side' you want your ship to be displayed on.
For humor. . . is right a left counterwise rotation on starboard tack or a right clockwise rotation on a port tack. . . choice subconsciously related to political sentiments????? The winds are ever changing! ;-) Rich (PT-2)
