Black Pearl, 1:72, scratch build log

s.solajic said:
Just one more sail to be mounted ( the one clamped to to the yard) and some correction on a few messed ropes and rigging is over.
A few more details to be added- lifeboat, barrels and crates, rope coils, pirate flag, until my glass display case is done, and the story is over
After year and a half this beautiful adventure is coming to her end. What's the next?

Hello, the ship is very beautiful. The fact is that I am making the black pearl, but I have a few questions about the sails, where are these threads attached? What is the function of these threads? And I have not seen this model in the built ships. I ask you to help me and explain to me, thank you.

Hi Amir. these ropes are sail lifters - they help curling and lifting sails and on the following picture you can see where these ropes are going, where and which deadeyes are placed to drive ropes to the belaying pins below the mast.
There are two set of ropes on left and two on the right side: First rope driving from the deadesye straight down is curling the sail upwards, the second rope that has more complicated path is lifting sail edges, shrinking the side of the sails (going through the sail rope eyes and thus curl ends and sides upwards.
