[Uwek]

will check the boudriots , the book is expensive , plus shipping over 100 dollars .

i just installed the jib and it still need care

The drawing of the complete ship I showed in my post is the only Boudriot sail drawing existing..... only some details skecthes are shown in other locations

re position the jib look better . was wondering as for which size of rope should i use to secure the sail to the pole bag 25 #3 look like a tad bigger than .3mm

comment appreciated

number 2 sail installed , having rigged only one squared ship before learning a lot in the process it not perfect lot lot is left to interpretation, boudriot book would be most helpful .

my photos are taken with a tablet will try some with a Nikon to see if it make a diff.

sizing tool modification. it a problem to hold the tread with the small clip the tread is secure making it easier to sizing

 

[hammer80]

clean the shop waiting for the next one not sure yet . looking a Ontario , and Niagara .
learn a lot building the rigging i had not done squared sail before , am waiting for pedestal to mount it on the base .
will try to put a better photo when it installed on the base .

my build has been laying low these last few month , wall space being in competition with the admiral quilt so my other build found a new resting place and le coureur in the process. will try to install a plexiglass in front after the holidays .
