Thanks, Heinrich. I can agree with your statement to leave the sail 'standing'.Just beautiful Peter! The sails look so realistic - how can you go and furl them?
After a post on the Dutch forum about 'the belly' in the sail, I paid some attention to that. The gaff is raised a little more. Now she can sail sharp on the wind
:
PS-1: The gaff should be set via the 4 blocks on the mast and 3 on the gaff. But soon the sail will be reefed and stowed on the boom.
Building a 2nd BN under full sail?
All in all, I don't think the material is wrong. The glue jobs are not too distracting. And ......only 1 little hole. You quickly learn to deal with the veeeeeeery thin layer.
PS-2: This photo again made with the Canon on my new 'studio' back wall. More fun experimenting with the lighting!
Regards, Peter

If that's a commitment, I'm okay with this model having furled sails.Building a 2nd BN under full sail?
Anybody with a touch of common sense will take a wide berth around your model once all the sails are on ánd once they've been informed about the material of the sails.
Regardless the material, it's a rather impressive piece of modeling.
Thanks, Johan. Maybe I'll make an extra sail to put next to the BN when I take her to a next meeting. Always nice for the discussion.If that's a commitment, I'm okay with this model having furled sails.
I can put the presumably next ship, a 'Vlaardingse Haring Logger', under full sail.

, if that's the case; I'm not fully committed yet, but the more BN's are build with no- or furled sails, the more I'm inclined to have my BN under full sail.

Haha ….. but you all know, Mr. Voogt is a bit stubborn……..Peter that last picture is MAGNIFICENT! I think the material looks the best that I have certainly seen. And that is why I am so serious about NOT furling the sails! It seems that @RDN1954 Johan is sharing my sentiments!
Hi Peter,
Just catching up on your build…what a beautiful BN! I used to think I did a great job on mine, and although that is still mostly true, what you have accomplished goes beyond great, it’s Excellent! Awesome work my friend!

Hi Dean. Nice to read from you again on the forum and in my build-log. Thank you for the compliments.Hi Peter,

You really did a great job with your BN. You have thus set 'the pace'
and I consult your log from time to time.Sometimes things just don't go over my limit.
Some things I've had in my head for a long time and I can now (finally) try them out. And when it succeeds, it is very satisfying.I hope you are fine and we can see some post in your own build-log.
Regards, Peter
Thank you Peter. I am so busy lately, but have vacation and holidays coming up, so I hope to get back to model building soon!Hi Dean. Nice to read from you again on the forum and in my build-log. Thank you for the compliments.

The main sail stowed on the boom with the gaff on top.
First I made a mold with a few clothespins in which the boom could lie. Fold it hoop by hoop and stored the sail between the arms:
And enclosed with a few temporary slings.
When finalizing I had to feed the slings both at the top and the bottom between the wood and the sail:
Cleared some space with a toothpick. I also had to keep in mind: the boom tackle under the boom and de bridles on top.
Then this is the result:
With sharp light from above.
With some details:
The sail is quite cleverly secured with the slings:
-with the eye splice forward, the rope is first thrown back over the gaff;
-brought forward between the sail and the boom;
-along in front of the sail, pushed back between the sail and the gaff;
-behind the sail, brought forward under the boom;
-passed through the eye splice and tightened.
The sling then separately threads the sail together and also pulls everything tight around the gaff and the boom.
Oblique from above:
From the port side with natural light:
Anyway, I'm very pleased with this result. The folds fall naturally and the whole gives a nice view of a furled sail.

Good afternoon Peter….wow you have outdone yourself and that is saying something!!! No words… just WOW. Cheers Grant
So I do, Peter! Happy to see your steady progress in very detailed and precise modeling.
Thanks for this nice compliments, Grant.
To be honest, I didn't expect this result either.
Of course hoped.Regards, Peter
Thanks, Jim. Much appreciated!
Regards, Peter
Very inventive with the clothspins,Peter. Great results.
Beautiful work! That’s looks great!
Thank, Daniel. They where laying on my desk and suddenly an idea. Fitted exactly.
Regards, Peter
