REAR MAST AND REAR SAIL (BAG 3)
❏
1. Slide the rear mast into the hole in the back upper deck
of the ship. Again using the numbering system attach the
rigging to the sides of the hull. Use the spacer washers to
adjust the tension of the rigging as needed.
❏
2. Now we will attach and adjust the tension on the small rear
sail (mizzen mast sail). Start by looping the two rear mast strings
to the corresponding numbers on the deck hooks. Adjust the
tension by pulling gently on the adjustment blocks (bowsies).
❏
3. Start rigging the rear sail by routing the top strings
through the appropriate pulleys and tie the strings off at the
lower portion of the mast.
❏
4. For the lower strings of the rear sail we suggest you route
them through the eye hole of the mast before tying the strings
off at the mast.
❏
5. At this point we can string the remaining strings from the
center mast sail. Route each of the long strings through the
upper pulleys located on the rear mast. Tie off both of the
strings at the lower portion of the rear mast. Set the tension
rather loose since these strings are only for esthetics and
should not carry any load.
