Hi all.
Got to issue 81. Just about to attach blocks to the mizzen yards. Issue 81 says to tie 2 double blocks on .25 thread. Where do these 2 blocks go?
The plan shows the wrong view of the blocks, i.e. not the number of holes in them!!

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,
The two 5mm doubles with .25 thread are tied to the far opposite ends of the topmast yard (the middle yard) They are facing down at the same place as the 2 blocks tied together are facing upward if you get what I meanBigGrin The only other double block is the one with thick thread at the center of the yard. You can see them (just) in pic 10, page 11 of issue 81

Now that you have pointed this out I can see that they are slightly bigger on the plan! My eyes are failing me. :-)
