Hello shipmates~
Last week, I managed to repost most of the pictures that I originally uploaded in the old MSW site (with comments and detailed description) for the last couple years (I think I started early 2022). From now onwards, I will post short updates as I progress.
Next work stream - finally the topmast and related structures~
I realized that the original plan for the topmast section does not make much sense in terms of facilitating the topsail halyard in a reasonable manner. So, after some considerations, including deviating heavily towards making a hole just beneath the topmast trestle-trees(with or without reinforcements), I decided to create a hole in the topmast trestle-trees for the topsail halyard line to pass through.
Below are more pictures of this work stream.
Above picture is me testing if the topmast shrouds would block the hole where halyard line is intended to pass through .
