Tips to know before you start:
be sure to follow the directions and not unwind
any lines until ready to connect; otherwise they
can become tangled.
before you begin rigging, make sure lines hang free.
If a line is loose after a step is completed, use the
brass block attached to the line to tighten.
1. Begin on a low table or on the floor for ease of assembly.
Place the hull of the boat in the stand.
2. Unfurl the roll of sails. Locate the bowsprit and separate
the three attached lines. Slide the bowsprit into the first
brass fitting and then into the second. The bowsprit
should come to a stop, resting firmly halfway into the
second brass fitting. The A1 (center) line may now be
attached to the single brass eye A1 located along the bow.
Tighten the line by running the brass block up the line
until the line is taut. This and all rigging lines should be
taut; they should give way to the pressure of your fingers
yet bounce back to their original location.
3. Attach bowsprit lines A2 and A3 to the brass eyes A2
and A3 respectively on the outsides of the hull. Tighten
using brass blocks.
4. Carefully pick up the sails using the Mast Pole. All
remaining sails are attached to the mast and will hang
loosely until they are attached to their appropriate brass
eyes. Place the end of the Mast Pole into the Mast Step
with the large Main Sail facing the rear (aft) of the boat.
5. Attach line B1, which originates at the top of the mast,
to eye B1 on the deck and tighten the line by running
the brass block up the line, until taut. Repeat with line B2
and eye B2 on the opposite side of the Mast Pole.
6. Attach line B3, which originates at mid-mast, to eye B3
and repeat with line B4 to eye B4 on the opposite side of
the deck. Tighten the lines. This should stabilize the
Mast Pole and allow you to work with the remaining lines.
7. Attach hook C1, on the Boom line, to its corresponding
eye C1 on the stern. Attach hook C2 to the rear Traveler
Bar on the deck. Hoist the Main Sail by attaching line
C3 to eye C3 on the mast by the boom. Tighten the lines.
8. Separate the First Jib (the second largest sail) and hold
so that the longest edge faces upward. Attach the brass
hook A4 at the forward end of the spar to eye A4 on the
tip of the bowsprit. Attach line A5 to eye A5 on the
bowsprit. Tighten the lines.
9. Repeat step 7 with the Second Jib, attaching hook A6 to
eye A6 and line A7 to the front Traveler Bar on the deck.
