Bluenose (Yuan Qing)

[Bob Walters]

This might be covered in SOS, but I thought I'd ask anyhow. It seems that a lot of detail is missing regarding the bow sprit. Page 41 refers to some parts made from the furnished square material in the top left photo. I think the 40mm piece (B091) is glued to part #171, a keeper of sorts. There are two 32mm parts (B090) and one appears to be a tie point with an ere and a u shaped grab attached to the top of the bow sprit as shown in the second row of photos. Where is the other 32mm part placed? The eye locations for the standing and running rigging can be obtained by paging through the full size plans, I guess.
Did I miss something?


Building the small boats was a FUN (!!!) project...
And I did not install the assembly constructed in the P8 frame. It's too close to the belaying pins and the crew would have trouble accessing that area, and it looks out of place, I think.

Hi Bob. I have found your other post as well. Answered in the other thread in the YQ Bluenose Area --> that is now your build-log. <--

I’m just finishing my Model Shipways Bluenose. I would love to help but I’m not familiar with the parts numbers you provide. But if I had some photos it would help. I’m gonna attach photos of the bowsprit so maybe we can figure out what it is you need.

Notice that I didn’t complete the footropes because it’s too much work for too little benefit and I think it looks fine as is.
