Can someone clarify please. Issue 65 deals with the construction of the main yard. the boom irons need to be angled upwards at 30 degrees. Does this apply to the centre irons - or just the ones on the tips?

Hi Spigs..

If you have a look on Tomicks official build, i am sure this will answer your question.

Regards,

Step 2 on page 12 of 65 does say that the boom & quarter irons have to be slightly angled upwards, otherwise a twist to the boom would be induced.
