This is absolutely amazing. I built this kit a few years ago and loved it. It’s a great kit and you are taking it to another level. I’m not sure I’m ready to tackle your upgrades. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on your progress.

Lovely build! I'll be using your photo's as a valuable reference when I get to adding the deck scale details.

We've reached a milestone today with the automation of the foremast sails.
The geometry is complete and all the running rigging has been pulled. I do see some minor adjustments will be needed, however I'm pleased with the results. All the running lines are above deck, and the servo winches are easily accessible for maintenance.
Of course the proof will only be realized once she's on the water.
I estimate it will take me 10-days to complete the automation of the mid and aft masts.
