See you soon...
Johann, what can I say? You must dream ships while you sleep. You have my admiration for your talent. Would you share, please the method you used to adhere the leather to the gaff's collar? It is remarkably clean.@Kurt Konrath

Thank you for your interest and everyone else for the LIKEs.
Continuation: throat halyard – Drisse de mat
We continued with the manufacture of the block strops for the throat halyard. The hook was tied into the lower double block with a thimble. The halyard with a diameter of 0.46 mm (ø 2 mm in the original) was attached to the block strop of the upper block using an eye splice.
I then quickly attached the gaff to the finished throat halyard, as can be seen in the following pictures.
