Colin Archer designed Norwegian Rescue Boats are a thing of beauty. The oldest, built in 1893, is still sailing today! https://www.colinarcher.no/ Originally, we were going to use dead eyes for our mizzen shrouds (and may still in the future) but are taking inspiration from a boat we've looked up to for years and rigging the mizzen with lashings instead. We completed the mizzen standing rigging in a single day thanks to this decision. If it weren't for the running backstays we would be able to say our standing rigging is 100% done!!!! We even ran our first line for our running rigging, our main throat halyard. If you want to see some cool traditional sail setting check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s68Nh8xRKdw

Thanks for watching everyone!
