Hi Folks
The Santisina Trinidad was my third build. I started small with the Blue Shadow and then did the Wasa. I used a reverse rigging sequence with the Santisima, having gotten the idea from some internet rummaging I was doing one night. Simply stated. all of the attachments that are made to the deck are made first prior to mounting any masts on the ship. When that line is called for to be installed, it gets threaded up through the mast head up until it raches a block, and out to where it ties off. I like this because it totally eliminates the tedium of tying off at the deck as more and more lines come down. All the rest of the work is a standoff. An added benefit is that as you thread this line, when you reach a block, you can put a tad bit of glue and freeze that section. Your final tie happens on top of the ship or on the tip of the yards,
