Good evening Vic. Yep- off the ship work on masts and yards is so much easier. However no matter what situation we get ourselves into we always make a plan- it’s just what we do. Cheers GrantLesson learned: build tressel tree before installing mast. It’s easier to square the top of the mast while off the ship. I can use my my Proxxon vice and Dremel to square when it’s off the ship. View attachment 316497
I must get some of those- in SA we are in stage 6 load shedding (don’t ask- rolling blackouts) and have no power for 12 of 24 hours. I work from 5am to 8am each morning and being winter is dark. Only problem I need battery driven lights. Joys of living in this beautiful country. Cheers GrantI always have trouble getting enough light. View attachment 316518View attachment 316519
I'm wondering when our beautiful country will have no longer enough power to light and warm our homes. They're already warning us for shortages next winter, instead of making sure we have enough to last us the winter.I must get some of those- in SA we are in stage 6 load shedding (don’t ask- rolling blackouts) and have no power for 12 of 24 hours.

Marquardt writes generally about 18-20 holes in the mars pad.Even the asymmetry of these holes can be seen here in the l'ambitieux drawing.Something is messed up here.I showed a photo of a museum model.Even Heller gives instructions for 12 holes.And if we are talking about L'Ambitiieux , here is a photo of the reference model of this ship from Mikhail Bezverkhny.Vic
This is how it looks on l'ambitieux- very similar vessel.
Fore and main 5 holes, mizzen 4
