After reading in many threads, and now this thread, about the Vanessa Rig, I decided to make one. My dowel rod fit too loose in the Tee assembly so I had to make a small thumb screw to add some friction. I also added a lever arm to the dowel making it into a windlass. Finally, rather than making permanent loops or using slip knots for line adjustments, I am using a Midshipman’s Hitch. This allows me to adjust the size of the loop making it smaller or larger. I even tested the hitch on the thin plumb bob line and it works good. I just added a loop making it easy to untie. You just slide the hitch to make the loop larger or smaller. Looking forward to setting this up. Then I'll cut my permanent lines.
