    Hi Stephen
    The photo is of my Joffre it may be of some help with the riging.

    That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

    Follows from previous message

    Here are some drawings that can clarify what I meant to tell you.

    I had to make a extension for a mast. Itโ€™s not difficult but if you want to stay and be aligned you have to use pins (toothpicks are fine). The extension can be a rod of the same diameter as the mast and the right length.

    The mast heel, I made it in plastic in two pieces joined but can be made of wood .

    Hi Stephen, I give you a description but as soon as I can try to attach some sketches.
    Meanwhile I hope I understood your question (I wouldnโ€™t take it for granted).
    For the lateral stability of the tree you should put shrouds on the sides (I would put two for each side).
    For longitudinal stability you have to put a fixed maneuver that in Italian we call "Strallo" (maybe translates into "forestay").
    The forestay alone is not enough because (being fixed to bow), it will pull the tree towards bow. Must be opposed by fixed maneuvers pulling towards the stern.
    Normally this function is performed by "paterazzi" (perhaps called "backstay" ).
    However, the presence of the gaff prevents the positioning of a single longitudinal paterazzo. Two should be put from the mast go to the sides (but always back) taking care not to prevent the swing of the gaff.
    To counteract the "stay" you can put the shrouds aft of the mast.
    You will then have four running rigging for the gaff (to make it realistic).
    It seems to me that there are already almost all the maneuvers you just have to pull them.

    Is the mast passing through (in the sense that it crosses the deck and goes on the keel) or is it just resting on the deck?
    I think itโ€™s just resting on the deck otherwise you wouldnโ€™t have these problems, but Iโ€™m waiting for your confirmation.
    The first thing to do would be tighten those bolts but, as far as I understand, you canโ€™t.
    I would remove the bolt system, make a shaft extension, make a hole on the deck and make it pass (this way the mast would stop on the chock and not on the deck).
    If you do not want to make a through shaft, put a tree foot to fix it instead of bolts, it is more beautiful and realistic than bolts.

    If you use organic material for rigging and other fixed maneuvers, you canโ€™t pull too much because they are very sensitive to temperature changes and humidity.

    Hi Stephen
    On my Lady "T" mast I used some brass tube set into the deck, the mast was then set into this tube with the base plate over the top, this way the mast goes thorough the deck and is fixed upright.
