Hoss6262, This is EXACTLY the article I am looking for when I retire from the U.S. Navy (for the 2nd time) and start the build of my Great Grandfather's (x4) ship HMS Euryalus. I do not have the skills to cut the frames to do the POF but a POB using plywood I think I can accomplish. The "Long Yard on the Mast" is, I have to retire and set up my final home. 50% is already in work, I was extended here in Spain until August 2027 at which time I will finally retire after 45 years (24 active duty, 21 Civil Service) the other 50% is where in Spain I plan to set up shop. This gives me ample time to digest your Log and gain more skills/Information from the rest of the members here. THANKS!
