Hello. I'm having a problem understanding what the drawing in the lower right corner is telling me what to do. Nowhere in the plans or instructions do I see anything like this. It looks like a bunch of blocks in a row.I understand the numbering but not all the blocks. I thought the yards tied off at the pins on the deck. This photo is very confusing on what I need to do, and nowhere in the plans does it show where to tie these lines off. Most videos I've been watching don't show this either. I have found this experience with this models intructions to be a little cunfusing, to say the least. I enjoy building these kits but don't understand the rigging fully. If anyone could help,would be appreciated.

Hi. You must carefully analyze both the top views and the attached photos.
On these plans, there are often things not marked or blocks are missing, so I recommend some basic book on rigging so that you can prepare this rigging.

You probably have 2 ropes (2 blocks on plan) on the right side:
316,315 and 320,321
And on the left all mast ones.

are there any eyebolts on the deck near the masts? I think those lines are called halliards, but I am not 100% sure. If they are they should rig to eyebolts on the deck.
