It’s been a little while since I’ve posted any of my Bluenose build. Thought I would post my block rigging method.
1 create loops for blocks
2 create hook
3 seize loop onto block
Create loops
Now I create the loop from brass wire and attach it to the loop.
Seize the loop and hook onto the block. Add a dab of glue on the seizing and trim.

Now onto sail making.
The build log I’m following now says to not glue down or set your rigging permanently as adding the sails would be very difficult. @$&#@%&$# thanks a lot!!! Well now we get to see the way I’m going to figure out how to do this. So step one will be measuring in place my sails. So I’m talking measurements and transferring them to the sails drawing, sheet 5. They’re written in pencil along the sail margins. EDIT ADDED....don’t forget the contour around the trestle trees and masthead like I did and now need to open the seams on those 2 upper gaff sails to fix this.
