The head of the mast and sail are attached with a simple lashing. When shortening sail or "reefing", a longer head lashing is used to lower the top of the sail by 600mm.
The STS Sedov (Russian: Седов), formerly the Magdalene Vinnen II (1921–1936) and the Kommodore Johnsen (–1948), is a 4-masted steel barque that for almost 80 years was the largest traditional sailing ship in operation. Originally built as a German cargo ship, the Sedov is today a sail training vessel, training cadets from the universities of Murmansk, Saint Petersburg and Arkhangelsk.

There are a number of other sails including two jibs and a pair of stunsails on the foremast.
Can you see the moon through the rigging?
Working with Toonboom ANIMATE. This was my first rigged character using the program (turnarounds, heirarchies etc). A little hokey ... I am still more fluent drawing in Flash.
This first character took a long time and I realize now that there are some things I could have done differently... but hey, it's all part of the learning process.
Rockingham is currently hosting some yacht racing. Not sure if it is just a club round, or a state event.
I was walking around Rockingham early enough that none of the yachts were on the water and liked the detail of the rigging.
This was a learning exercise for me, all through the process I was thinking of steps I could have taken to make it easier.
The float struts are not pinned, and that would have made my life much easier. Most of what little strength they have is in the fishing line rigging holding them together.
The Avengers is filming in Cleveland! I've begun a project to archive their progress as they continue to film on E. 9th and other various places around the city. This is great for Cleveland as it's bringing in millions of dollars and will definitely help continue to put the city on the map for film-worthy places!
Sailing out to the reef.
At Grand Cayman, we did a sailing excursion out to a reef where we could snorkel with stingrays. This was done through the Disney Cruise Line and Red Sail Sports.
