I need some brief advice. A few years ago I inherited an unfinished 1980s model of the Constitution from my grandfather, and without any prior ship-building experience, I endeavored to finish what remained of the masts and rigging. I have now put together everything except for the studding sails, but I'm at a slight impasse. My confusion involves the studding sail yards. Unless I am misunderstanding the situation, the instructions say "When not in use, the spare studding sail yards parts 29 through 35 were usually lashed to the gun deck as shown." And indeed my grandfather did appear to place the yards I need for the studding sails in a difficult to reach location on the gun deck beneath the life boats. I have no particular knowledge of sailing ships. Is that indeed where the yards are supposed to be? And is it even worth retrieving them to finish the studding sails? Thanks in advance.
