How to build the bowsprit topmast & yards for the San Felipe Model Ship n°48

[@GregWilson635]

Amazing work 👏 one thing i have already learned from your videos is attention to detail makes an incredible difference. Really brings the ship to lifel.

Thanks Greg. I do indeed like to pay attention for details. Of course, this result in a longer building time, but it is also were I find lots of pleasure in.

Curtis, looks amazing that book is a excellent resource thank you for the update

[@Curtis_Wooden_Shipyard]

Thanks Jay. This book provides indeed very good inside in the rigging and what knots that were/are used.

@@Curtis_Wooden_Shipyard that’s true indeed it does however there’s nothing like watching skilled hands like yours performing the work

Amazing work as usual Curtis! Thank you so much for taking the time to share! I did get the Petersson Rigging Book and it is very, very, helpful actually seeing you show how this is done. Thank you again!!!

Hi Mark. The book is for me also a great resource to try to knot as historically possible as I can. Glad you like it. Kit manuals somewhat neglect the art of rigging i.m.o.

Curtis, as usual a terrific job! That boo looks like something I should order.

[@Curtis_Wooden_Shipyard]

Thanks again Joe. Always nice to receive your feedback. The book is helpful, but it is for one type of ship. Not all is included (is impossible). For example, there is no bowsprit topmast. But the rigging/belaying plan/principle remains the same. There is almost no explanation, only drawings, but that works for me. If you want, I can try to give you some pictures.

@Curtis_Wooden_Shipyard Curtis, I totally understand. A few pictures for me to get an idea would be great. Thank you!

@@genojoe3176 Hi Joe, what is the best way to send some pictures to you?
