Flying Cloud Bowsprit Jibboom Line/s Rigging Help

[hof00]

Hi All,

Soldiering on with my Flying Cloud, 1/96 Mamoli.

I am at a stage now placing Blocks/Eyebolts on the Deck and Hull

 

Unfortunately, supplied plans are not at all clear on where the Eyebolts are located for the Bowsprit/Jibboom lines terminate on the Bow/Hull.

On the plans there are 5 Eyebolts located on the Bow for the various Bowsprit Shrouds/Stays, that's fine, but where exactly are they located on the Hull.

Are they all in a straight line or staggered above or below each other?

How far, what distance are they spaced vertically and horizontally on the Hull?

(At the moment, I am thinking they are located on the Upper Rub Rail just below the Catheads, but again, no real idea.)

 

The only thing that I am sure about are that there are five Eyebolts per side.

 

I have looked at the Lankford instructions for the Flying Fish and Scott Bradner's plans but cannot see anything absolutely definitive.

 

If anyone has some diagrams/approximate positions of these, it would be very much appreciated.

 

Cheers and Regards,

 

Harry.
