Despite the heat in Europe, I still managed to keep my head cool, and finished the 2 lifeboats. I decided to put one on sea-level and the other high up, just above the cannons. I like it, hope you do also.

After some weeks of vacation, I started again, and I think the Victory is close (to be finshed). If I do 1 sail a week, I should be finished in 2 months . Let's see if this is too optimistic.

All the ropes seem to have some tension, while the mast and sails are loosely kept in place. Now, I'm going to continue with the sails of the main mast.
