Hi all,
I on the last leg of finishing an old Cut Sark kit from Billing Boats and I am about to install the yards. I have problems with all three main yards. The yards only have a short chain fixed to the centre of the yard and there is no halyard so it can't be ment for lifting the yard. There are lift ropes attached to both ends of the yards, the rope is drawn through blocks at the mast top of the topmast, but I can't find out where they go from there. There is only an indication of them going downwards but not to where. There are no noted belaying pins for them. The only thing I can see is to tie them to the center chain to balance the yard, but that does not seams right either. Do any of you have any ideas of where the should be tied down.
Br,
Ronnie
