Take the mainmast cap (part 72) and 72
glue the guides (parts 73) to it. Stain
the cap and guides, and when dry, add D
the eyebolts (A) and suspend the two

it rests in the corresponding hole in the
trees of the maintop. Apply glue to all
of the contact points between the masts,
cap and top to secure them.

Use 0.8mm thread to create parts 70, 70
looping them over the mast cap guide
and through the U-shaped guides (this 70
one should have a D block at the end).

Mark a 13mm length onto a 2 x 5mm
strip of African walnut. With a half- 13mm
round file, remove a semi-circular
section in the centre of it (inset) until
it matches the curvature of the mast, 102
as shown. Then shape the outside to
match the inner semi-circular part.
Glue this part, the driver boom saddle
(part 102), to the mizzenmast at the
point shown on the plan.

C
Assemble the mizzenmast parts, then
add the fittings to the mast, mizzentop
and crosstrees.
D
Pass the end of the gammoning
(part 133) up through the hole cut
in the beakhead grating, up over the
bowsprit, then down through the hole
in the grating on the other side of the
bowsprit. Adjust the position of the
gammoning so that it sits in the slot in 133
the bowsprit closest to the deck.
E
Loop the gammoning back up through
the hole in the grating, then over the
bowsprit and back down. Repeat until
it is looped around five times, then
secure the ends with glue. Next, cut a
length of thread, wrap it around the
middle of the gammoning and secure
the end with glue.
590

F
Cut another length of thread to create
the second gammoning, forward of the
first. Secure the ends after you have
made five turns around the bowsprit
and gratings. Then wrap another length
around the centre of the gammoning.
G
Secure the ends of the thread wrapped
around the gammoning with glue, and
cut off the excess.

Position the ship upright, and
support the sides so it remains in that
position. Insert the foremast into the
corresponding hole in the deck, with
the yards on the bow side of the mast.

Prepare one length of thread to create
the foremast shrouds (134), indicated
in the list in figure A of the rigging plan.
Pass the end of the thread up through
the foretop, between the foremast and
the fore topmast and then back down
through the top. Pull the thread until 134
both sides are at equal lengths on either
side of the ship. The shrouds should be
positioned behind the yard.
B
Follow the same process to place all 10
foremast shrouds.

C
To prevent the shrouds from moving,
apply glue to the points where they are
in contact with the mast.
D
Loop the end of the first shroud
thread around a 5mm deadeye (F) at
the position shown in figure A on the
rigging plan. Glue the thread above the 134
deadeye to secure it, and cut away the
excess thread when dry.
E
Wrap some 0.1mm thread around the
doubled section of shroud thread above
the deadeye. Apply glue to secure it,
and cut off the excess.
598

F 134
Cut one of the lanyards (parts 135)
and make a knot at one end. Insert the
thread from the back of the deadeye, 135
through the left-hand hole. Pull the end
until the knot stops against the back of
the deadeye. Feed the thread through
the left-hand hole in the front deadeye
fixed to the chainwale, going in from
the front.
G
Follow the diagram in figure A on the
rigging plan to lace up the rest of the
holes in the two deadeyes.
H
Tie thread around the shroud, just
above the deadeye. Apply a little glue
to secure the thread, and then cut away
the excess.
599

I
Attach the rest of the 5mm deadeyes
to the shrouds, to correspond with the
5mm deadeyes on the chainwales.
J
When all of the 5mm deadeyes are
fitted, the shrouds should look like this.
