How To: Next Level Rigging of your Black Seas Ships

[@danielmorgan1104]

Lots and LOTs of great tips!! Love your videos. I do have a question. How do you bring the running rigging on the bowsprit Sail yard arm back to the hull on the Frigates? The Warlords vid has you connecting to that part on the bow that the anchor is supposed to be glued to.

Excellent question. The running rigging from the ends of the spritsail yard do not actually go to the hull. The running rigging goes to the first/lowest platform (fighting top) on the foremast. The rigging running from the tip of the bowsprit to the middle sections of the of the spritsail yard continue on to the hull and should be secured at the gunwales just inside the arms (bitts) where the anchors would be hung. That requires drilling into the gunwale or you can take the easy approach and tie the stay off at the base of each of the bitts.

@@DZSabre Good to know. I did drill a hole in the gunwales just in front of the "Bitts" as you referred them as. I figured to bring the threads thru the holes then glue them on the back side of the gunwales then nip off the excess thread.

Love the videos! Are the Bobbin things @7.49 something you made or can you buy them?

The bobbins are for fly tying. the simplest place to start looking is Bass Pro in their fly tying section.
