Hello everyone.

Fitting the parts and pre-assembling the bowsprit, jib and boom. After installing the bowsprit on the hull, it will be inconvenient.
The matter moves on to the rigging

В России, как и в Англии, бом-утлегарь проводили по правому борту, а его коренной конец (шпор) крепился найтовами к утлегарю, а не к эзельгофту.
In Russia, as in England, the boom-jib was carried along the starboard side, and its root end (spur) was secured with lashings to the boom, and not to the eselgoft (cap).
