SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Draw two lines across the foretop,

intersecting in the centre to divide it

into four quarters. Use these lines to

help you place the ribs (parts 26). Cut

the ribs from the 2 x 2mm wooden

strip and glue them onto the foretop.

When the glue has dried, sand the

edges of the ribs to match the edge of

the foretop.

SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™

Retrieve the stanchions (parts 27) from

Stage 140. Test-fit them in the holes

along the aft edge of the foretop (see

next step) and cut off their ends, so that

they don’t extend past the underside of

the foretop.

Glue the trees to the underside of the

foretop, as shown here and on the plan.

Glue the stanchions into position along

the aft edge of the foretop. Make sure

that all the U-shaped seats at the top of

the stanchions are aligned.

the 8mm dowel from Stage 140 in the

same way as the spritsail yard, following

the foremast plan. Create the yard

supports (parts 41) from the 1 x 3mm

strips that came with Stage 121. Glue

the supports to the centre of the yard.

Glue the yard slings (parts 42) and the

large and medium boom irons (parts 43

and 44) to the yard. Test-fit the irons

first to check that they can be placed

in the correct position according to
