Thanks Ab, you are absolutely right about this point. I mentioned in my post before


I didn't get them in a nice way onto the boltrope. It keeps looking messy. That's why I choose the grommets, they looked the best of all. Yeah I'm ashamed about it, but to small for correct details.
The bigger sails will give me a better try, because of the bigger rope on the sail. Circular cringles are used on modern sails these days. They are placed in the sail.
The next small sail I make, I will try to don't let them look round but oval by sewing them on 2 points first and then the middle point. And the main and fore sail are big enough to give more detail.

Hi Stephan,

I did a visual cheat (scabbed in a short section of rope under the cringle loop which was a direct continuation of the bolt rope):

That's a good solution to look at. Looks not messy at all. I'm gonna try this on my test sail, if possible. the sails are very thin in my case, that's why it is so difficult to glue without mess. Thanks Paul
 
I changed the "leuvers" a bit. just make them a little more oval.

They are still not what I want, next sail will be different. I leave this one, It's a small sail and with the bare eye it's hard to see.
You can see the reefpoints pointing to everywhere, they are not heat treatment till now. First the robands.

Ashley's shows them in this way 1264. Not the yellow.

I made 3, but I'm gonna look if I can do the seizing better. Don't like it how it's done by me now. The robands are 0,35 mm. and the seizing is 0,23 mm.

Lovely work, Stephan. Could you just seize with thread? It's so small no one will notice you didn't use proper rope.

A joy to see you working on this ship again!

I give that a try Paul, because it's real small and almost not visible when the yard is attached.

For me it's a joy too, even if it's only a few hours.
