Mizzen Gallant Brace

As I was going down with the Ratlines, I was worrying about the alignment. So I used my Right Angle and made them perpendicular to the Mast…
Started work on the Ratlines. I’m just going to use Clove Hitches all around.
After a bit of a break, I’m back to working on the Mizzen Mast Ratlines. I was holding off on it until I finished the rigging for the Spanker.
Here I have the first 2 sets done…
I had a couple of do overs… When I mistakenly looped the last Shroud under the Gaff Boom Stay. And also I used a Square Knot around the Mast so I couldn’t get it adequately tight enough so I had to take it all apart and I used a simple loop which worked nicely to be tightened on both sides.
I almost didn’t include these but I said what the hell…
