USS Constitution - Model Shipways

Hey Peter! Send an email to Ben at Ropes of Scale. He'd be happy to explain the difference. He is awesome. Nice guy with a great company.

I have just been getting the regular polyester and haven't had any issues.

Since my Constitution will never be under full sail and exposed to the stresses of the wind aloft, I think I can live without the little bit of taper between the deck and the cheeks, this time.

Next time? For sure!

True, lol.

I've never used polyester thread, so I can't really comment on it. I make my own ropes using cotton thread. If you're going to use cotton rope you may need to run it through beeswax to keep the rope from looking fuzzy, that's what I do.
