It's string time! Now to get on making up a rigging plan. ![](https://i.imgur.com/L6jXujJ.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/lILislv.jpg)

Bit of a disaster, leaving a rigging line under tension overnight managed to distort the main and fore masts. They are just too flimsy to take the rigging tension. ![](https://i.imgur.com/afgDUXy.jpg) I'll try replacing the masts with metal rod or stouter styrene rod. It'll lose the mast taper but a small price to pay if it means finishing

That is rather annoying George ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . Still, sounds like you have a good plan B ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Anyway, it'll be some time before the next post, in the meantime I shall seek solace in alcohol.

Still going. The masts were replaced with florists' wire, they now go through the deck into the keel making for a very solid and rigid fitting. This is one I'll refer to for future builds The standing rigging is complete and a start made on the running rigging. Light perhaps at the end of the tunnel. ![](https://i.imgur.com/tDeVxcR.jpg)
