Stunning pictures of the masts and sails Peter
Incredible job
I am curious to see the sails live early next year

Thanks, Henk. I have to measure if the BN with main mast fits in my car

If not, just buy yourself a nice Dodge Ram, it'll fit anything...Thanks, Henk. I have to measure if the BN with main mast fits in my car

I tell you a secret Paul: End of October, Stephan, Maarten and myself had a meeting about the making of model sails. I went to Stephan's house in the south of the Netherland. On my BMW motorbike. With in my rucksack ....... the main mast of my BN in a long box.
But for the whole BN I need a wide and high box. I am sure I can find one, but it will take a lot of wind, riding on the highway. But the BN is to fragile for that.Many many years ago I transported on my motorbike a hugh box of a model crane:
Fitted together and erected almost 2 meters high.
But the most I super detailed the road hydraulic cranes likes this:
Adding the hydraulics and other tiny parts:
It was fun, but sold my whole collection:
So, back to the BN.
Regards, Peter

Wich one do you mean, the white one or the common blue one?
Time again for some serious talk about the BN.
The peak halliard has been installed on the gaff of the mainsail. According to the drawings of Jenson and MS/Lankford:
In terms of design under the spreader, it is the same as the throat halliard with on 1 side the pulling end of the thick line of 0.45 mm/.017" and on the other side the double disc block of 3.5 mm/.13" of the tackle with the line of 0, 35mm/.013".
That will look like this:
It already gives a fuller view at the rear.
Jenson mentioned in his overview that the main line was 600 ft = 182.88 mtr long. On my model it takes almost 2.5 mtr/98" of the thick line. The thinner line for the tackle almost 1.5 mtr/59".
It also gets busier on the top of the lower mast:
A: The hauling part goes from the highest of the 4 blocks, through the starboard eye on the short spreader to the block on deck.
B: This part goes from the lowest of the 4 blocks through the port eye on the spreader to the block of the tackle.
The view on the deck:
A: the block on the deck at the mast foot.
B: the tackle secured to the nail bank and the hauling part of the tackle secured to the belaying pin just before.
You also see a piece of line running forward,C. To show what Jenson mentions in his drawing, that this part leads to the winch.
I expressed that with an extra piece of line.
The line seen from the front:
The line is free of obstacles. This would also apply to the line of the throat halliard on the other side of the mast foot.
Regards, Peter

I'm not even sure what to say here Peter. Your work is just exceptional in every way. Respect.
Thanks, Paul. Than it is Mutual Respect.
Regards, Peter
Mijn dank is groot, Heinrich. Thanks!
But I have more to show ............
Regards, Peter
With just one more update.
With the making of the baggywrinkle for the topping lift, I worked a bit ahead by also putting the 2 small pieces on the lines for the quarter lifts:
Jenson and Lankford use different names:
On the end of the boom:
Jenson: Main Boom End Lift
Lankford: Topping Lift
What I've installed now:
Jenson: Main Boom After Topping Lifts
Lankford: Quarter lifts.
The pendants are 0.6mm/.027" which are attached to a band on the boom with a hook. At the top a 2-sheave block with an eye on both sides. This is for the tackle with 0.35mm/.013" line hanging through a 2-sheave block on the back of the trestle trees:
When building the main mast I had hung 2x a 1-sheave block there. I replaced that with 2x a 2-sheave block of 3.5 mm/.13". I misread the drawings.
On the boom they are mounted on the sides of a band, just before the end of the gaff:
To support the furled sail.
MS/Lankford lists 3 specific rigging points, hence the attaching with a hook:
A: during fishing on a band.
B: alternative attachment where they function as a 'Lazy Jack' to guide the sail during storage of the sail.
C: position to store them when not in use. That's an eye bolt on the railing. Added: This was not right. It's the position to store the Topmast Flying Backstay.
At my BN on position B, because the sail has just been furled.
By securing both lines on port and starboard to the nail bank under the shrouds, I now had to make sure they didn't hang over other lines. So far I've been able to let them all run free.
Still not ready on this back side ..........

Good evening Peter. Your BN model is incredible. The way you research each detail and describe it in your posts is crystal clear. The busy top of the lower mast is so realistic and a modelling example for all of us…well in fact your entire BN is. Exceptional craftsmanship ship Peter. Cheers GrantWith just one more update.

The adjusted block- and rope sizes, combined with the correct gaf, boom and mast diameters ánd the displayed craftmanship gives this build a very convincing appearance.
It shows how customizations may greatly improve the quality and credibility of a model.
The main drawback being presenting other shipwrights with too many examples and ideas how to modify their own builds...
