Confusing Instructions - Dapper Tom

[AlanZL1]

Hope this is the right place for this.

 

Building the Dapper Tom as my first ship model and have found the instructions a bit confusing.  I have reached a point where I can't figure it out looking at pics online or searching.

 

There is a doubler between stanchions in two places.  The instructions state "Add the doubler in way of the sheet and tack sheave holes".  The graphic in the instructions show what looks like a hole in the doubler, but the plans look to me like its supposed be a ring because its elongated in the drawing.  (see below). 

This rigging plan shows lines leading to these (I think) but from the outside view only so no detail of how they attach.

 

I looked up what a sheeve is and it looks to be a pulley which means ring to me.  (my lack of knowledge of nautical terminology is showing).

Does anyone know what this detail is supposed to be?  Pics would be very helpful.

I feel your pain...seems as though every kit has it's little (or huge) dilemmas to figure out. Either in the plans, instructions or the materials or all of the above! I now just take it as a challenge to adapt and overcome! I'm pretty sure someone here will assist you, if not carry on in a way that makes sense to you. I suppose in all fairness to the people putting these kits together, the prototype builder, plan guys, editors on the instructions and people putting the kits together for shipping, have a complex load to accomplish. There's bound to be some problems.

Check page #1 post #29 Fixed Blocks..I think this is what you looking for.

They are permanent blocks fixed into the bulwarks.  Old Ben just did not detail the sheave in fig. B-5.  He is showing you that the top is flush with the bottom of the rail.  I think at least one is for a main sail sheet.  If you do not add sails, there may not be a line that uses them on your model.

With the attention this causes,  I am thinking about the physics  and that in this instance, the force on the sail is partially transferred to a more substantial part of the bulwark than a pin rail.
