when you view your sketches, seek help or
find the answer in a rigging text (consult the
bibliography). U
se the final sketches as you
rig the model.
You won’t need to crawl your
way thru the rigging plan again.
When rigging such items as yards, booms
and gaffs, do as much rigging as possible
with the item in hand before installing the
part on the model. Seize the lines to the part
and have enough running rigging line so it
can reach to its final destination, such as a
belaying pin, with a little line left. Better to
be too long than too short. Standing rigging
such as yard footropes are included as these
would be very difficult to do with the yard
hanging at the mast.
