Model ship building #39 - Stitching the SAILS - boltrope, bonnet, clew, earring and reef points

[@CAPNMAC82]

Ok, now you've done it--a proper throat lashing, "Five around and three across the lay." Something I learned at my grandparents' knee. Marlinspike seamanship will get in your blood. 🙂 I wish I had developed the patience for fine needlework like that. Just never did too impatient, I guess. For reefpoints, at smaller scales, I'd take suture thread and put a wall knot into it. Hold it straight, and CA it stiff. Cut at the knot and the length, then CA the knot to the after side of the sail so it would hang down straight with gravity. Forward side would not need CA to stiffen, as it would lay on the sail.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! I have to try it!

[@Fulklenoir]

to sew or not to sew, that’s the question. You can't say that this is one of my favorite activities. In any case you make it so easy and simple that one would think it was easy. I know model makers who delegate the work of the sails, it must not be that simple. Thanks for the extra time making the videos.

У Вас волшебные руки,как говорят в народе ,,золотые руки"!! Потрясающего качества видео и настолько подробно заснят весь процесс,что даже я,нитки с иголкой в руках не держа,думаю попробовать))) Спасибо Вам огромное!!!

Outstanding work! The days and weeks working on the sails are really visible in the result! Precise and thoroughly made!

[@lor191ric]

Olha no matter how many times I have watched you stitch sails I am always memorized, your skill as a craftswomen and as a videographer is quite simply stunning. I think Imbir just wants to play. Thank you and take care.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you so much 😊 Imbir just really wants to literally "put" his paw on the construction of the model)))

It's a jewel of video... what work of patience and energy it takes. I suspect you take two servings of Cheerios in the morning when you're rigging ))) Take care of yourself, you are the best!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! Let's say it's non-stop meditation for two weeks)))

[@jefftitus9869]

Another fascinating video with great videography and lighting. Perhaps more amazing than the actual sewing methodology was the lack of blood from needle sticks to the fingers. Thanks for sharing.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

There was only a finger sewn to the sail, but somehow without blood))))

[@genojoe3176]

Olha, your skills are truly amazing! I look forward to your videos and wonder, what will I learn today?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much!

[@1BatJam]

I just love your videos, I’ve learned so much watching them! I think I’m going to enjoy this one too as it looks like you’re going to explain the different parts of the sail itself! ❤❤

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! I'm doing it for myself as well, since I'm relearning all the terminology in English))) And if it will be useful to someone else - I will be very pleased! For some reason, if I write something, especially in the background of a photo or video, I remember it forever...

[@ekkehardlehmann7016]

A very good work- so I´ll made a new german "Kutter". It has only 1 triangle sail. Thank you for the video- Greetings from old Germany!

Again, perfectly astounding! Reef points, marling hitches, bonnets, boltropes, earrings, etc. - in this scale details so small as to need a microscope to see, let alone create (should I ask how many times your fingers were almost included in the rigging)! Such a magnificent gift - thank you! 🤯

[@bozev21]

Amazing and very precise work! Kudos from me, Olha! Could you please tell us how you calculate the length of the thread, needed for stitching the boltrope? As I can see, you are using one single thread for the whole sail, without any unnecessary knots and this is wonderful!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! The length of the head-rop is equal to the width of the sail. The longer boltrope is equal to the other three sides of the sail, that is the port leech-rope, foot-rope and starboard leech.

[@igormanuilovich1422]

Отлично. Благодарю за идеи

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Рада что вам понравилось!

[@markdeschane4467]

Olha, I don'y know if I can ever sew sails, the look so complicated!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

There is also a style in shipmodeling when a ship without sails...

[@gabachin]

¡Simplemente perfecto! Me gustaria saber si el astillero donde se estaba construyendo el USS CONFEDERACY esta en suspension de pago o ha cerrado por falta de madera. Cuando volvere a ve nuevos videos de este barco? Saludos desde España

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

¡Gracias! Mi astillero está temporalmente en reparación; estoy haciendo reparaciones importantes en el taller. Debido al hecho de que la alta humedad en el verano destruyó todas mis existencias de madera y el moho cubrió las paredes, acabo de impermeabilizar completamente la habitación y aislaré el piso... Por lo tanto, por ahora estoy trabajando en un número limitado modo...

That’s a piece of art What kind of thread do you use to make the ropes? Like your video’s very much and I’m learning at lot from them😃👍

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you! I use Gutermann overlock threads

[@frankw7266]

I've got my rope walk up and running, picked up Gutermann 121, 151, and 382 in black, brown, and tan, and I'm getting a really good handle on it... including cable-laid. How are you getting 0.18mm rope? I've gone down to three single strands of 121, and still getting 0.24... are you using two strands? And what thread are you using to sew the boltrope to the sail? I know I've said it before, but thank you so much for your content. I'm headed into my first ship build, and I've learned a ton just watching & re-watching your videos.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! Yes, I am using two strands. And for sewing the boltrope I use Gutermann all-purpose or tera 180...

[@kenahrens3913]

Beautiful work again Olha. How many sails are on this ship and how many hours do you have in making them?

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Thank you very much! A total of 6 sails. I sewed for a week on a sewing machine and another 2 by hand... I don't count the time for making ropes...

How did you access that article? Do you have a back journal or is it available online? Their website isn't easy to understand.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

Oh, I discovered this article on my husband's desk)))) But the easiest way to order this article is through your local library. "The Sail of the Swedish Merchantman Jeanne-Elisabeth, Wrecked off Montpellier, Frace, in 1755" The International Journal of Nautical Archeologt 2011 P.S. I will write the identification number in the next comment, if KZbin doesn't recognize it as a link, because if you type a dot and don't put a space, then KZbin considers it a link and blocks the comment as spam...

[@stanhobbs5292]

I’ve been under the impression that bonnets were added or removed from the working sails to increase or decrease sail area as weather conditions changed. This seems inconsistent with the complex fastening process 😢you present. Would appreciate your comments. Best Wishes.

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

That is absolutely correct. Therefore, if you untie the seizing, which I did at the beginning of the seam, the loops will be released one by one. You will get the bonnet with the loops separately, as it was on the real ships. And for the loops of the bonnet at the foot of the mainsail, there were cringles, which I simply did not imitate (it is already too much for such a scale). This is the trick - I do everything in reverse, because that's the only way you can get a perfect seam on the model!

[@stanhobbs5292]

Thanks so much! I’ll watch again to see how this works. I was focused so much on the construction details that i didn’t appreciate that simply removing the seizing would allow the the two pieces to be separated. Regards, -S

[@steamjo]

It's unbelievable how you can detail a sail. Visit a todays sailing vessel and compare it with this art work. It's the same. More than well done

It looks really complicated to do!

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

It's not that difficult, just very slow!

[@BaNuj]

@@OlhaBatchvarov i imagine. I stitched only small triangle Lateen sails for some tuna fishing boats. Surely making sails is one of the most fullfiling activity in the entire model ship building, across with rigging ^^

[@mikebeer1567]

I've never made a wooden ship but I really want to, I watch your videos and ask myself could I do that, mostly the answer is yes, but this, this is some sort of needle and thread witchcraft

[@OlhaBatchvarov]

But you can always make a model only with rigging without sails, in admiralty style...
