Drill a ∅0.8 hole in the end of the two topgallant masts (to take a brass nail) and make up two
end caps from ∅3 dowel drilled through with a ∅0.8 hole. Fix with glue and a brass nail.

Secure the anchors in place on the bows. The anchor rigging is shown on Plan 2.

appearance of weight and droop in the absence of wind, fold and secure each flag in a
draped position using some thin pins, and then spray the flags with fixer or transparent
hair lacquer.
•
Varnishing: Leave all parts their natural colour and varnish them with matt varnish.
