Main Mast Yards:
The Yards are turned from poplar dowels with beech



wood reinforcement in the center of the masts I like this color combination for the yards. This is some progress photos of the yards.

Thanks Dave and Uwe, my arthritis makes rigging difficult for me, but I still like working on it, maybe when I get a better rope walk it will get easier lol.

Awesome, Mike! The rigging really adds a lot.

Mizzen Mast Rigging:
I had to add a little more planking to the mizzen deck for the yard rigging.

Main Mast Ratlines:
I like to use a spacing sheet behind the shrouds to hold the lines fairly even. This is not the most interesting part of a build but needs to be done.

Foot Ropes:
By using some diluted PVA glue and weights the stirrups fore the foot ropes hang better. This is some progress photos.
