First, I want to apologise for the lack of (OR removal of) earlier images.  I used photobucket, and I upgraded several times, but now they are telling me my images are no longer being hosted(Probably because they want more money)(AGAIN).  So I dropped them and am using a new site...please forgive the mixup and inconvience do to the lack of earlier build images.  Hopefully we can move forward with the log from here.

Thanks Bill....I'm a scratch builder....so I fit within a tight nitch.  Anyway..thanks for the fine comments and encouragement.

I began to add the topgallent sail and yard and begining to add all the rigging associated with it.  Here are a couple new images.
