Running Rigging

The recent flurry of activity on the blog is thanks to Nick, here are some more of his photos and comments, cheers Nick.

"Progress apace, natural-look running rigging and wood blocks being reeved.It was a long day. I was at the yard at half six thinking I was early but Leo, John and Liam were already preparing boats to be lifted in to the water."




Long day.
