made up outrigger blocks for braces and short outriggers for sheet/topping lift blocks. installed two blocks on each side of yard for clew furling and fore top'sle sheets, then fitted two outrigger blocks each side. rove brace threads, previously tied to top of mainstay, through long outrigger blocks on yard ends, to lead blocks on bottom of mainstay, and secured hauling parts to aft rail on fo'c'sle. rove single fold purchases for topping lifts and secured hauling parts to for'd rail on fo'c'sle.
made a start on the foremast ratlines using clove hitches and 0.2mm black manilla thread. this will be a long tedious job.
had enough, so will mow the lawn!!
Jem, what a crackin job! Wish I had your skill
