main & top masts ratlines, topping lifts & braces.


today spent finishing ratlines on mainmast and main topmast shrouds. then i started the running rigging on the yards. made up double sheave blocks for topping lift/sheets. rove topping lifts and set up with hauling parts turned up on maindeck kingposts.
braces are unusual in that they are lead for'd with standing part secured to wire strops run through foc's'le break uprights. hauling parts turned up on outer for'd poop rail belaying pins. tomorrow will refurbish and fit topmast crosstrees and flagstaff, button and flag.
hrs 133.
