Ik heb de ra's bij mij met ecoline van Talens geverfd, verdund 1 op 1 en dat gaf ook een mooi resultaat. Maar die chellac ga ik eens proberen.
You give a great explanation on the rigging, and as you mentioned very unique. I always learn from your uploads, Thank you.
I didn't know you can buy shellac flakes, add alcohol and voila, you have a product for coloring.

Ik is baie blij dat ik iets nuuts kon deel. De top Chinese bouwers gebruikt niet enige beits of soortgelijks, maar de shellac.

Voorwaarts met de tuigage en zeil.
Let us learn some Junk Rig terminology.
This excerpt is taken from an excellent article on the Junk Rig by http://kastenmarine.com/junk_rig.htm
A minor advantage of familiarity with the junk rig is being able to impress dock side wags by knowing all about lizards, sheetlets, euphroes, snotters, and the like....!
The sail shape is controlled by each of the individual sheets. Each "sheetlet" runs through a "euphroe" which acts as friction block to keep the tension set as intended.
A nice picture of the Euphroe.
Once the sail is raised, if it is desired to tension the sail vertically, it is hauled downward by a "downhaul" or "bowsing tackle." If it is desired to move the sail forward or aft, it can be done by controlling the "out haul" which in this case leads forward to the leading edge of the battens. The top yard can be controlled via a line called the "snotter" to move the spar forward or aft, or to snug it against the mast, as needed.
A reefed sampan in Hong Kong harbour.
Almost never seen in books -- one of the earliest drawings of a large sampan, by John Webber, who sailed with Captain Cook. Although two-masted, longer, and lower it still has the same general profile as the small sampans. Drawings and photos from 100 to 150 years later show that these boats changed almost not at all.
And now with all of that done it is simply a case of picking up the whole sail assembly and mounting the mast in the sampan. This the easiest thing to do you can imagine. Then the lizard block needs to be attached to the block which has previously been mounted next to the mast and the two Euphroe lines need to be connected to the block which has previously been mounted at the stern right next to the Yuloh. And with that done - almost half unexpectedly - the fat lady had sung.

In due course I will get a professional photographer to take some proper pictures, but with the Covid situation the way it is at the moment, no one knows when that will be. Neither do I know when she will find her final resting place in the Shatian Museum in Guangdong.
What I do know though, is that this sampan has changed the way I look at modelbuilding. Never before have I had so much enjoyment in my building - to such an extent that instead of today being a happy day upon its conclusion, I feel actually quite sad. Never again will I build a model just to build a model. Unless it has a specific meaning or significance to me (the Dutch uses the word "binding"), it will stay on the shelf.
As to the future of the Tanka people and what it holds for them - no one knows. But in my own, miniscule way, I have at least introduced you to the plight of the Tanka. For that opportunity, I thank you all for your wonderful support.
Until next time, keep well my friends!
