diameter lower parts 331 and 340. In both 331 and 340, fit
the jaws 332, the cheeks 333, the tops 334, the ends of the bases
on the mainmast 335, the lugs 336, the caps 338, the small rings
340 109 108, the large eyebolts 109 and the 4mm blocks 343. In the parts
of the mainmasts 337 and 342, make 1mm-diameter holes, and in
the lower mainmast 340 fit the seven eyebolts 109 to the brass
stay 341. In the two circular pin-rails 339, drill the six 1mm-
diameter holes in which to fit the metal belay pins 103 and insert
these into the lowermast of the foresail 331 and of the mainsail
331 340. Paint the masts ivory, as shown in the photographs.

341 We recommend that you follow the mast, rigging and sail plans
when building these parts.

paint the fine raw thread white. From the 379
chainwales, make lanyards between the clump
blocks 99, using the fine raw thread 308.
Stretch the lower rigging of thick black cotton
thread 379 and fix it to where the mainmast
and foremast join the tops 334. On the lower
part of the rigging, on both the foremast and
mainmast, fit the wooden ratlines 380 and paint 5
them white. With the black cotton thread 381,
4
make the ratlines, tying them from one rigging 381
to the other, approximately 6mm apart to 3
make the steps. Tie the first four ratlines to
four riggings and when reaching the fifth ratline, 2
tie the thread to all five of the riggings (red 1
arrow); the following four ratlines are to be

sockets in which to fit the rigging and, between them, 1.2mm-diameter
holes in which to fit the belay pins 103. Cover the gaps with the batten
100 383 and paint the entire unit white. Rig the lower clump blocks 100 with
the medium black cotton thread 384 and insert them into the tops to the
381 mainmast futtocks. Join the lower to the upper clump blocks by means of
5mm 384 the lanyards made with the fine raw thread 308 and make the mainmast
rigging with the medium black cotton thread 384, from the upper clump
blocks to over the crosstrees. Tie the ratlines with the fine black cotton
308 thread 381 and paint the first of these white (green arrow). Make the
5mm 381 topgallant ladders by rigging the lower clump blocks 100 with the medium
black cotton thread 384 and inserting them through the holes in the
384 100 crosstrees to form the futtocks on the topgallants. Join both clump blocks
in the same manner as the mainmast ladders and make the small rigging
with the thread 384, tying the ratlines with the thread 381.

Consult the rigging plans while followng the step-by-step instructions.

to the main and mizzen mainmast with the fine raw
thread 308 (to be painted white) and on the lower part,
making a lanyard with thread 308 and a brass bracket
308 386 glued to the edge of the circular pin-rail 339 and
tied to the lanyard with a ring 108. Rig the mizzen
100 topmast (red arrows) with the thick brown thread 385,
385 tying it on its upper part to the mainmast and mizzen
topgallant with the raw thread 308 (to be painted
white), threading it through a clump block 100 fitted on
the lower mainmast where a 1.5mm-diameter hole is to
be made. Tie it off on a lanyard made with thread 308
to which, in turn, it will be tied to the eyebolt 109. Rig
the staysail stays (blue arrows) and the mizzen royal
308 staysail stays (green arrows) with the brown thread
378, tying them on their upper part to the mizzen small
385 mast with the raw thread 308, threading through the
holes in the mainmast cap 338 and 346, tying them off
in the lanyards 308 and, in turn, in the eyebolts 109
located behind the mainmast. (See next page to

thread 308 and tying them to the eyebolts 109, located on the deck with the rings 108. Make the royal staysail stays (blue arrows), the main royal stays
on the mainmast (green arrows) and the moonsail (violet arrows). With the brown threads 378 and 153, tie them on their upper part to the topgallant
with the fine raw thread 308 (to be painted white), threading them through the holes for the foresail caps 338 and 346 and through a clump block 100
fitted on the mainmast foretop where a 1.5mm-diameter hole is made, tying off on the lanyards 308 and, in turn, in the eyebolts 109 located behind the
