Fitting a yard to the mast

[Stevep80]

Hi, help

 

I am having trouble knowing how to attach the yard to the mast on my Amati Oseberg Viking ship, I have no instructions and am struggling with the rigging, would anybody have a diagram on how to do this.

I would be most grateful.

 

Kind regards

Hi Steve

What I do is file a very small flat spot to the yard, and mast. Then drill a small hole in yard and mast, just big enough for a very thin wire. Glue wire mast and yard, then rig them. If need I can send pics.

1 pic

File small flat spot

2 pic

use T pin to make starter hole for drill

then drill hole

 

I use wire from twist ties

 

last pics are what you want

 

Now follow steps for drilling hole in other piece

Cut wire to size

The only thing you don't want to do is drill to deep.

If you do it's not that big a deal

 

Hope this helps

Need more help let me know
