**I got my flying backstays untwisted! **

I had such trouble with them. As soon as I put a little tension on the lines the blocks would twist all around. A little wax, a little weight on the lines, and tying them off to a different place and they look good!

@jimdab Is this from a kit? I had an uncle who built the most beautiful (model) boat and I’ve always wondered if it came from a kit or not.

@Alligator hey there, sorry it took so long for me to reply. I think I need to set up notifications on my app!

Yes, this is from a kit: Bluenose Schooner which I bought way back in 2006 and have been plugging away steadily (or not so steadily) ever since.

My first and only ship, so far. 😉
