Securing in position:
The boats are secured to the stands (108) using four copper eyelets (180), painted matt (metal) black, and two lengths of
0.5mm natural thread. The stands should be separated by a gap of approximately 37mm and should be dry fitted onto the
model to ensure they are located one forward and one aft of the main hatch, also the boats should not foul the doorway to the
galley or the belaying pins in the main mast pinrail.
When you are happy with the fit the whole assembly (boats, accessories and stands) should be pinned and glued into place.
