drilled into the hull. It is suggested that you

do not glue the masts and bowsprit into the

holes. The rigging will hold them in position.

Furthermore, if the model gets restored in the

futur

e, the masts and bowsprits can be easily

removed.

Check the alignment of the masts and

wsprit. If not straight, looking aft, or at the

correct angle shown on the plans, you can

shim the holes. If necessary, drill the holes

larger to accommodate shimming.

1.Rigging Identification

Most all of the rigging is identified on the rig-

ging plan by number. The small belaying pin

plan on the rigging plan shows a recommend-

ed location for belaying the numbered lines.

The key to the plan numbers is as follows:

Note: Numbers 1 through 24 are standing

rigging. Use the black rigging line supplied in

the kit. Numbers 25 through 50 are running

rigging. Use the tan rigging line supplied. If a

standing rig has a tackle on the end, use tan

line for the tackle. P/S indicates lines that are

both port and starboard.

A few rigs are not numbered but are shown

on the rigging plan to some degree. They are

as follows and will be detailed later in these

instr

uctions:

Parrel (or parral) - On upper yards which

can be raised or lo

ed, these lines hold the

yard against the mast. Beads, or rollers, on the

lines allow the yards to move freely along the

mast. There is a detail shown on the upper

right side of the plan.

- O

er yards, there are no parrels,

instead, a fix

ed line holds the yar

mast. I

unning ends, each of which

has a tackle secured to eyebolts in the deck at

the mast and the tackle belays to the fife rail.

Thus, the tr

uss can be tightened or loosened

at deck lev

The tr

Jibboom Guys - These guys are shown in a

plan view on the left hand side of the rigging

plan. Note that the inboard ends have a tackle

at the cat heads.
