Monkey rail is done. Compared to the others, it was pretty simple. The illustration in the BJ instructions do not show any sheaves in the bitts (main topsail bitts) so I didn't put any in. The instructions do not give any dimensions so I had to guess at the height. The width was taken from the Spar deck plan. I assumed the rail would be even with the top rail on the main rail. The spar deck plan shows this rail as being square on the ends, bt I went ahead and rounded off the ends like all the others.
Now that all the fife rails are finished, I can get back to the ship's wheel... oh boy.
