Foremast shrouds installed. Starting on Main mast
Lower fore-, main-, and mizzenmasts are in place. Bowsprit with spritsail yard and martingale booms (aka dolphin strikers) have also been installed. Shrouds have been installed on the bowsprit and foremast and started on the mainmast. Other than the shrouds on the bowsprit, I have left them untied and untrimmed until all the standing rigging is installed so they can be adjusted if necessary. The masts have not been glued into the ship, so the rigging is holding them in place as it would on the real ship.
