10. Fife Rail &
Fore Boom Crutch
The main fife rail, rail bar, knees, fore
boom crutch, and crutch pad are laser-cut
parts. Stanchions are Britannia, but make
the bitts from stripwood (Figure 5-7).
Drill holes and insert belaying pins.
11. Galley Stack
At the base of the Britannia galley stack
is a pad. The plans show a substitute, a
“Liverpool” (straight) stack, since the
stack varied at times.
12. Bilge Pumps
Britannia bilge pumps are aft of the
main fife rail. No levers are provided,
because they are generally stowed when
not in use. They can be duplicated from
brass wire or strip. Drill holes in the
deck to accept the pumps, then affix
with cyano or epoxy.
13. Windlass, Hoisting
Machinery & Jumbo Jib
Boom Crutch
If configuring the model for fishing, add
the Britannia windlass, hoisting machin-
ery, and engine box. When racing, the box
and hoisting mechanism were removed.
The jumbo jib boom crutch top and knees
are laser-cut parts. Make the bitts from
stripwood. Before installing the assembly,
attach the hoisting mechanism.
Windlass:
Laser-cut bitts and riding
knees are split to fit around the wind-
lass shaft (Figure 5-8). Glue on the
quadrant castings. Use brass wire for
the links connecting the quadrant to the
brake beam on top of the bowsprit. Add
the pawl on the samson post.
Although hoisting machinery doesn’t
need a brake, it has one for backup.
Handles are stowed below, not in the
brake beam.
Counter shaft and stand : The shaft, with
pinion gear and sprocket, fits into two
stands. If necessary, ream the holes in the
stands so the shaft will fit, then glue the
pieces together. Be sure the pinion
engages the large gear on the windlass
when gluing the assembly to the deck
(Figure 5-8).
