Prepare the joints for hinges 55 on pieces 53 and 54.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

FIG.1

Construct separately on pieces 1 and 2 the joints for the masts as i n fig. 2, 3, and 4. Unite the false keel, reinforcing the point of contact with pieces 3 and 4. Before gluing, make sure the pieces match perfectly.

FIG. 5 (and drawing fig. 1)

Position frames 5 to 15 making sure they are perfectly perpendicular to the false keel and parallel to each other. Position all reinforcements 23 to 32 on both sides of the false keel. Observe drawing 3 where the exact continuation of the hull outline Is illustrated. These Indications will help you sand the reinforcements correctly, continuing the line of the frames. Position frame 16 on the false keel and file it to size.

FIG. 6

Plank the under deck with strips 34, then glue It between frames 10 and 11.

FIG. 7

Position stern reinforcements 17 to 22 in a parallel fashion (Fig. 7).

FIG. 8-9

Shape frame 16 to match curve of the lower section of the reinforcing blocks.

FIG. 1O

Position temporarily deck 36 on the hull with some rubber bands. Make sure the bow joint and all the holes for the hatches and masts match the full-scale designs. Check the curvature at stern on blocks 17 to 22 where the deck and transom 40 will rest. Remove the deck and shape the blocks as necessary. Plank the deck with strips 37 (Fig. 13), leaving the holes free.

Now you may glue the deck to the hull. Shape the sides of the frames according to the outline of the deck. Clue the transom 40 and the bulwarks 38 and 39.

FIG. 11

Plank the lower section of the stern with strips 35 as shown.

FIG. 12

Execute the first planking of the hull sides with strips 41. Start from the bulwarks and proceed downwards. Leave free the space for the true keel (51 to 53) at the bow and under the keel (see Fig.26).

FIG. 14-15

Plank the upper hull section next to bulwarks 38 and 39 to deck level, working towards the bow. The planking goes above the deck between frames 6 and 7, creating a low bulwark to the cutwater. Sand the first planking so that It corresponds with the second. The first planking and bulwarks should be on the same level.

FIG. 16

Apply and perfect the second planking using strips 42; smooth the surface using fine sandpaper.

FIG. 17

Next position strip 43 on the deck so that it Is flush with the hull planking. Fig. 18 Illustrates the construction of the shoots (one of each side of the ship). For an exact placement, refer to Fig. 21 and to the overall views given in Designs 1 and 2. Next apply strips 43 using the bulwarks as a starting point. Keep the strips flush with the external planking.

FIG. 19

Position the first internal stringer 45.

FIG. 20

Position the second Internal stringer (44) along the bulwarks and the transom.

FIG. 22 (see also design 2, Fig.1)

1 - Construct the wales using strips 49 and 50 (Fig.24) starting
from the waterline.

2 - Position the first wales 46 flush with stringer 43 and above the
bulwarks. Clue the strip along the hull.

3 - Next position the second wales 47 and the third wales 48 as
indicated In Design 2.

FIG. 25

Using the rudder hole on the deck as a guide, make the hole In the hull towards stern for the stern post 53 and the rudder 54.

FIG. 26-27-28

Clue the cutwater 51 after making the joints and holes indicated in the full-scale design. Glue the keel 52 and the stern post 53.

FIG. 29

Prepare the joints for hinges 55 on pieces 53 and 54.
