SANTISIMA TRINIDAD: Step by Step ™
Retrieve the outer jib (219) from Stage
151. Pierce seven holes along the luff
(forward edge) at the points indicated in
figure J. Loop a 3mm ring (H) through
each of the holes. Apply a little glue to
the loops to prevent them from moving.
Prepare the cross jack braces (216),
the mizzen topsail yard braces (217)
and the mizzen topgallant yard braces
(218), and tie three C blocks to the
aft shrouds on both sides of the ship.
Tie the braces to the shrouds, just
above the C blocks, then pass them
through the blocks hanging at the end
of their corresponding yards, back
to the shrouds, through the C blocks
and down, tying them off to the points
indicated in figure Q of the rigging plan.
Pierce another hole at the head (top) of
the sail and tie a block (C) there. Open
the rings (H), hook them over the fore
topmast preventer (151), and then close
them. Tie the outer jib halyard (220) to
the block at the top of the preventer,
pass it through the block at the head
of the sail, back up and through the
preventer block, then down and tie off.
Tie the outer jib downhaul (221) just
below the head block (C). Pass it down
through the centre ring (circled), then
the block on the bowsprit, and finally
tie off to the deck. Tie the sheets (222)
to the clew of the sail and the deck.
