regular intervals, until you reach the stern.
Allow the glue to set hard, then apply more cyano to
complete the joint: hold the hull at a slight angle and apply
a few drops of cyano between the deck and the projecting
hull flange. Now tilt and turn the hull slowly so that the
cyano runs along the entire length of the flange and back
to the starting point again.
This procedure fixes the deck to the hull and provides an
effective, all-round seal.
The projecting hull flange can now be removed by scoring
it repeatedly along the inside using a sharp knife, holding
the blade as close to horizontal as possible. Carefully cut
down through the flange from the top edge to the deck at
one point, bend the flange to and fro to weaken it at the
separation line, then remove it from the hull, taking care
not to crack the glued joint. Sand the cut edge carefully all
round.
Cut out the vacuum-moulded bulwark 52, taking particular
care to file out the scuppers neatly.
Place the prepared bulwark on the hull and tack it in place
in the usual way, applying individual drops of cyano at re-
gular intervals. Note that the bulwark should be positioned
in such a way that the flange of the moulding completely
covers the edge of the hull.
The next stage is to glue the bulwark to the deck all round,
but please take care to avoid excess cyano running out
through the scuppers and onto the hull surface. When you
are finished, drill all the holes in the bulwark in the posi
-
tions shown on the plan.
Towing winch, warping winch
Drill holes at the marked points in the towing winch base
44.
Assemble the big winch drum 53 from tube 53 and shims
53a (19 mm diam.) and 53b (12 mm diam.) and shaft 55.
Slide the parts in the follow 53a - 53b - 53 - 53b - 53a and
glue 53a and b together. Then glue tube 53 onto the edge
of 53b. Sand and paint the drum silver.
Wind several turns of towing hawser 54 (thread) onto the
large winch drum 53, and tack it in place. Form the end of
the thread into a loop and glue the joint.
Slip the shaft 55 in one end of the winch, and fit the drum
53 and the brake drum 56 on it. Fit the capstan heads 57
on both ends of the shaft and secure them with one drop
of cyano each. Glue the handwheels 58 to the winch base.
Bend the gearbox lever 60 to the shape shown. Drill holes
in the base and glue the gear lever 59 and the gearbox
lever 60 in them.
Warping winch
Drill holes for the shaft 61 in the winch base 49 at the
marked points.
Assemble winch drum 62 from winch tube 62 as well as the
schims 62a (18 mm diam.), 62b (10 mm diam.), 62c (16
mm diam.) and 62d (14 mm diam.). Sand the parts clean.
Slide the parts in the follow 62c - 6d - 62c - 62a - 62b - 62 -
62b - 62a on shaft 61 and glue the parts together.
Wind the rope 63 (thread) onto the winch drum 62 and tack
it in place with cyano.
Form the other end of the rope into a loop and tack the
ends together. Fit the shaft and the drum, push the shaft
right through, secure it with glue, and attach the handwheel
64 to it.
Cut out the laser cut bow platform 65 and glue it to the
deck in the position shown on the plan.
Assemble the toolbox from parts 66 - 69 as shown, and
apply a piece of d-c-fix 70 to the toolbox lid 69.
Sand the completed toolbox and glue it to the deck in the
position shown on the plan.
Cut out the vacuum-moulded afterdeck hatch 71, trim it to
fit on the after deck and glue it in place. Apply the film 72 to
the hatch
cover. Glue the bollards 73 to the bow platform and the
deck.
Anchor gear
The anchor gear is assembled from parts 74 - 82.
Trim the anchor winch base 74 to follow the camber of the
deck (see also the view “Anchor winch”). Glue the chain
pulley 75 and the capstan head 76 to the anchor winch
base.
Drill two 4 mm Ø holes in the deck for the chain hawses
77, and a 7 mm Ø hole in the hull for the anchor hawse
tube 78. Sand the ends of the tube angled to fit the angle
of the hull side to the deck and glue it in water tight. Glue
parts 77 in the holes.
Drill a 1 mm Ø hole in the chain stopper 79 for the hand-
crank 80. Bend the handcrank to the shape shown in the
plan view, fit it in the chain stopper and glue the parts
together. Temporarily thread the anchor chain 81 through
the slot in the chain stopper; if the slot turns out to be too
small, open it up slightly.
The base of the chain stopper should now be sanded to
follow the camber of the deck. Glue the completed anchor
winch and chain stopper to the deck in the positions shown
on the plan. Fit Hall anchor 82 to the chain and slide it
through the anchor hawse tube and the chain stopper and
wrap it round the capstan head. Thread the chain through
the chain hawses and secure it with a drop of cyano.
Deck superstructure
Use cyano for all glued joints in this stage unless stated
otherwise.
Now the vacuum-moulded engine room 83, the wheel-
house 86 and the two-part funnel 88 can be trimmed along
the marked lines, as shown on the plan, and the edges
sanded smooth. Cut the holes in the engine room and
the wheelhouse for the portholes, and cut out the window
openings. It is best to cut the window openings undersize
initially, then trim them to final outline using flat and square
