The travelling guy, guy pendant and flying jibboom guy should now be rigged as follows.
To begin, seize a 3mm single block to a copper eyelet with falls of 0.25mm natural thread tied into the crown of the block at
the same time. Repeat this until you have six individual sets. The copper eyelets are then secured into the front face of the
beakhead bulkhead plank sheer (380), one directly above each outer edge of the roundhouses and the remaining two above the
roundhouse in between them (at the centreline of the roundhouse).
The travelling guy is of 0.5mm black thread. This is made from one piece of thread, the centre of the thread is made fast to the
jibboom between the bowsprit cap and spritsail topsail yard. Each end then leads out and through the innermost copper eyelet
on the top of the spritsail yard out towards the innermost copper eyelets on the beakhead bulkhead plank sheer. 3mm double
blocks are seized into the ends approximately 35mm from the plank sheer. A tackle is set up between these blocks and the falls
belay to the beakhead bulkhead fiferail (405) above the 3mm single block (b87).
The guy pendant is of 0.5mm black thread. This is formed in a similar manner to the travelling guy and the centre of the thread
is secured to the necking of the jibboom. It travels back and through the middle copper eyelets on the top of the spritsail and is
set up in the same manner as the travelling guy with a tackle to the middle (above the roundhouses) 3mm single block on the
plank sheer. The falls are belayed to the beakhead bulkhead fiferail (405) above the 3mm single block (b88).
The flying jibboom guy is of 0.25mm black thread. This is formed in a similar manner to the travelling guy and the centre of
the thread is secured to the necking of the flying jibboom. It then passes through the outer copper eyelet on the top of the
spritsail. It is set up in the same manner as the travelling guy with a tackle to the outer 3mm single block on the plank sheer.
The falls are belayed to the beakhead bulkhead fiferail (405) above the 3mm single block (b89).
Anchors:
The cat falls are of 0.25mm natural thread. The standing end is secured to a copper eyelet on the underside of the cathead
directly behind the sheaves. Large rigging hooks are tied into the arse of the 8.5mm triple cat blocks. A tackle is then set up
between the 8.5mm triple cat block and the cathead sheaves, the running end belaying around the cathead at the cathead cleat
(b90).
The anchor ring of 1.5mm brass wire has 0.5mm black thread wound around it to represent puddening. The anchor ring is
positioned in the hook of the 8.5mm cat block, and the anchor palm sits against the anchor palm block on the hull.
The bower anchor cable of 2.5mm natural rope should be secured to the ring of the anchor with either an inside clinch or with
an eye splice. The cable then leads through the innermost hawse hole where it is secured.
The anchor should then be secured in a span to the bulwark openings as shown (Photo 042) ensuring the anchor palm rests on
the anchor palm block.
The sheet anchors are secured in a similar manner as shown, but without a cable. Again ensure the anchor palm rests in the
anchor palm block.
The kedge anchor is secured to the aft end of the starboard mizzen channel by a strop.
