I am just finishing prepping the masts and yardarms and have one question: on page 166 of the instructions it show the main and fore top mast each made of three pieces, 21,21,22, and 20,20 and 19. But in the parts I have 4 sections for each: 21,21,22,22 and 20,20,19,19. Is it correct to use all 4, or just the three sections? I know that you are past this step so hope you figured it out! I looked carefully at pictures of Otsoa's completed build (which looks amazing) and it looked like he used 4 sections each. Any help would be appreciated here. Thanks!
Hi, I have those pieces on my workbench not yet glued together. Maybe @Jagpilot or some off the other SB builders can answer your questions.
Thanks for the quick reply. Otsoa said that he used all 4 so I will go ahead with that. The worst that could happen is more sanding!
I think he is correct that you can’t have too much wood. My SB is temporarily shelved while I work to finish a little Dutch ship ( Willem Barentsz) I started a while ago.
Yup, there are sails included in the kit. I believe the sails sold separately are completely finished and ready to install.

Good question and satisfying answer. IT is not clear on the Pavel website.
HMM, sorry I don't remember having trouble placing those. Maybe some of the other SB builders can answer your question.
