The vangs (43) are fitted port and starboard.
The plan does not clearly show where the
fix
ed end of the fall is located. Seize it to an
eyebolt in the deck close to the bulwark or on
top of the cap rail directly in line with the line
on the plan.
The main boom sheet (45) lo
wer block is fit-
ted with a ring around the traveler rod on the
transom.
The running end can be belayed port
or starboard to the cavils on the bulwark stan-
chions. The lead block on the deck can be
considered optional.
7. Anchor Tackle
Figure H-12 shows the anchors, port and star-
board, rigging and stowage. Coil the anchor
cables on the deck.
8. Final Touches
After all the rigging is in place, re-check every
line, and make sure all the seizings are sound.
If necessary, add another touch of CA glue to
seizings. Check to see if there are any shiny
places on the rigging. If necessary, tough-up
standing rigging with black paint, or black liq-
uid shoe polish. For running rigging, use a tan
stain, or brown liquid shoe polish.
Check to see if any of the painted wooden
parts were marred or scratched during the rig-
ging process and touch-up as necessary.
Congratulations—you’ve done it! We look for-
ward to helping you with your next ship
modeling project.
