Ratlines! I was actually dreading these, but once I got the hang of it, they really weren’t too bad, and it goes quick. Used the clove hitch technique for the majority of the lines. It’s important here to ensure the shrouds don’t take on the “hourglass” shape when tying the lines up.
Attached the foretop mast, and foretop shrouds, then the ratlines there too.
And lastly, I attached the foretopstays. The assembly of the blocks and tensioning was a bit funky, but overall turned out well.
