Attraction Department: Rigging Time.


It's time to do some rigging mates! Yikes, I swear it was easier for the pirates. This was tough as it is so small. But thanks to the jeweler's helmet and a pair of good tweezers, work began. Here you can see the white string attached to the cleats.

 
The cleats are glued to the base and the rigging to the mast begins. Reading the instructions carefully you find that some of the "rope" goes through all levels and some only go through two.
 

And finally, you have your string rigged onto the mast. Now let's add some sails.


In the sails go, making sure they are adjusted properly before the glue sets in.


And three hours later.......a pirate sail! But there was something that was really bothering me. That white string!
