4. Hatches
Make hatch covers as either planked
structures or from 1/32” thick sheet.
Dip lifting ring shafts in cyano, then
insert in two diagonal corners on each
cover. Don’t forget the eyebolts in the
deck. They secured the canvas covers
that went over the hatches in bad
weather (Figure 5-3).
5. Bowsprit Bitts
& Samson Post
Install the samson post and bowsprit
bitts, but not the filler blocks or plat-
form (Figure 5-4).
6. Boom Sheet Buffers
The real fore and main sheet buffers
have rubber rings to take the strain off
the lower block. The kit provides sim-
plified Britannia castings. Install these,
then the foremast’s laser-cut platform
and its fore and aft legs. However, the
main rail forms the main boom’s plat-
form. Both platforms have a hole for the
buffer ring. Lower sheet blocks hook to
the ring (Figure 5-5).
Note: The plans show the main buffer a
little longer than the fore buffer.
Although the kit has only one size, it
fits under either platform.
7. Quarter Bitts
Drill a hole for the quarter bitts or peg
them with a dowel (Figure 5-6).
8. Unidentified Object
The object to port and aft of the cabin
may be a scuttle; or, more likely, a stor-
age tub for the main sheet hauling tack-
le. Cut it from sheet stock and round the
top edge.
9. Main Boom Crutch
The laser-cut main boom crutch fits over
a flat strip with a notch. If the model is
displayed with sails, either lay it on
deck or omit the crutch. It is stowed
when underway.
