Many thanks guys for the warm re welcome back.
Have a question now if any one can help.
I am working on issue 63 now and am just about to start on the main mast cap.
In the instructions it says to add 2 small blocks to this cap, what it soed not say is which size to use and there are several different small blocks.
Does anyone know which is the correct size to use?
Thanks in advance.
regards
Foz

Whenever it talks about small blocks I have assumed it meant the 4mm size.
BTW as you begin to assemble these you may want to drill out the holes before you put them up. They get filled with crud and glue and some blocks came without holes altogether.
It is much easier to clean them out now rather than when they are up.

Hi Foz, John is correct, it is the 4mm blocks you should attach to the mast cap.... Regards Alan
