Thanks Janos, You are a huge inspiration I cannot match , and why would I ? I watched your builds on various forums and must admit you are a true professional builder , am I wrong?
Thanks Paul , it is a great build and foremost the history inspired me to this project , rest assured she will get her own place in our home
Standing rigging completed ! Now the fun start with the yards and rigging , working on the Main mast , in all cases I fix the yards to the masts with a pin , so much easier to attach the parrel and trucks ( geleideblok and klootjes)
Front and rear view so far

Yup, that's the way I do it too. Beautiful work Robert.
OH wow, very, very impressive work. A remarkable showpiece.

Congratulations Robert. An important milestone (standing rigging). Now the ship comes alive...
Good morning Robert. Way to go. The standing rigging already adds to a fantastic looking Batavia. Cheers Grant
Looks great indeed - excellent work!!
She is looking great Robert
Just about a year ago when building her , been away so the ‘yard’ closed so now and then , however still on my mind , always the possibility of unintended disastrous strikes with so many shrouds and lines to avoid whilst building, I am sure it happens so now and then F$#$$$%, excuse my language !

Don't know what you're talking about...
Hmm, to many thumbs on both hands, fading eyesight, etc.?????Don't know what you're talking about...
Eye sight , probably LOL , concentration on one aspect and forgetting surrounding yards , shrouds etc , and …snap , I guess we have all done it
Exposing her to the elements for a change and the beautiful sunset on Pittwater.
