Rigging sequences for the driver gaff.
The Lower Studding Sail Boom:
The lower studding sail booms (one each side) can now be fitted into the eyeplates (250) on the main channel (fore). With the
boom in place, it should be swung aft to rest up against the deadeye chainplates and is lashed, with 0.25mm black thread, to the
chainplate of the aftermost 5mm deadeye.
The Main Stay Tackle:
Referring to Plan Sheet 6, the main stay tackle pendant, of 0.5mm black thread is seized to the main stay, directly above the
centre point of the foremost forward mortar canopy. It should be 35mm long and have a 5mm double block seized into the end.
A 5mm single block, with a large rigging hook (218) seized into the crown and falls of 0.25mm natural seized into the arse
should be rigged. The tackle is set up between these two blocks and the running end passes down, under and around the
windlass end, outside the finger and thumb timberhead port side (b46). The mortar canopy can now be suspended from the
tackle using large rigging hooks and strops of 0.25mm black thread.
