Top gallant studding sail booms added to the group.

Peter, maybe you already know this, but I’ll point it out anyway. Studding sail booms are mounted on the yards below. That means the topmast boom goes on the main yard, the topgallant boom on the top yard, and the royal boom on the topgallant yard. So it won’t be like in the photo you posted.

Of course it’s no problem for me, but I just wanted to check—could it be that you’re accidentally posting your updates in my build log? I thought I’d mention it before it creates extra work for you.

The mizzen topmast stay and preventer stay are now complete. The stay runs through a bullseye already attached near the top of the main mast and is secured to an eyebolt on the main mast fighting top. The preventer stay passes through another bullseye attached to the main mast and is then set up to an eyebolt at the base of the mast using a pair of bullseyes.

Thanks for pointing that out, mustafa. If you look at the previous photos, you will see that I've put everything in the wrong place more than once. My old gray cells, they ain't what they used to be...

Your build continues to impress. More photos to add to my Mustafa slide show..

uh oh,
Have I been posting my last two updates to the wrong build log?

Or, Mustafa. did you post your last one on mine?

Given that I can't edit the post above about "The mizzen topmast stay and preventer stay" being complete, I assume your post ended up in my build log.

I'm confused for a couple of reasons - one being that I don't recall posting my build as a "Scratch Build", and the other being that I can't seem to delete a post here. (I would have assumed that if I post it, I can delete it).

My guess is that someone at SoS changed my build log title to "USS Constitution 1:70 Scratch". Why deleting my own post isn't straight forward still has me scratching my head.

Am I just getting old?

I'm confuse. If this post (the one you're looking at now) is on my build log, why can't I delete it?

This is my log Peter.
