Solder multi-strand copper cable of adequate length
to the drive battery, and solder a G2 connector
(socket) to the free ends. Place the battery in the
centre of the model, and secure it with Velcro tape.
Take great care to ensure that the battery cannot
shift, as sailing boats are capable of heeling (leaning
over) at considerable angles. The final trim is carried
out later, when the boat is complete, by installing
additional ballast.
Attach the bowsprit to the model: withdraw the
retaining pin from the bracket on the deck, slide the
bowsprit through the opening and into the hull before
re-fitting the pin to secure it. Connect the bowsprit
rigging to the rings already attached to the model.
The next step is to prepare the schooner mast and the mainmast by connecting the throat halyard from the
upper gaff throat fittings to the ring at the top. Check at the bottom that the gooseneck fittings engage fully.
If the brass pins are loose enough to rotate, apply a drop of cyano to glue them to the masts.
