Brian's Sovereign of the seas

I looked into it Pete don't worry there is no live cultures in flu jabs now :) Its just coincidence caught a cold when I did
Even if there were (they aren’t) then the live virus would be attenuated to weaken it. The virus would still multiply, albeit slowly, and give a good immune response, but won’t give you a full blown dose of the illness.

Morning guys feeling a little better this morning and you will probably think I'm a bit mad but I have stripped all the rigging back to the start, I was just not happy with it. So I'm going to have a rest from the sovereign and do something else for a change.......like say make ropes :) so here is my first effort making very thin ropes and it's compared to ones I bought from Canada.

Back to the start :)

My effort at 0.25mm rope, I'm finding it harder to make fine rope.
Mine on the spool bought rope above, I'm very happy with the result :)

The right thing to do if you weren't happy Brian. We can get so engrossed in a build, taking a few days off to have a think and look from afar can be useful. So your cold has a positive (y)

Bit of an update, had a relapse was feeling a little better then oh boy, did it hit me hard spent the next 3 days in bed literally couldn't get up, I think I had a touch of flu and not your typical Man flu ( a cold). Anyway I'm up and around and feeling better than I have since Saturday so back to the Sovereign tomorrow all things being good.
 
That sounds like Covid. I’ve had it three times (once very badly, then after vaccines turned up, not so badly), and that happens every time…..

Ok so my wife thinks I'm certifiable and I started the rigging AGAIN this time I'm going to use my own ropes, going to take longer as I have to make the ropes first and that's not easy for me as I'm still a beginner so here goes :) I might be done by Christmas ...........2030!

I don't think you're mad Brian, it's important to do what you want with your model to get the result you envisage. The latest ropes look very good indeed.
