8. To review, the route of the string should be from the base

of the aft mast, continuing up to the top of the aft mast, across
to the center mast, over to the top of the fore mast and down
to the base of the fore mast.

ADDING THE FLAGS AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

1. You will have received two flags, a lifeboat, steering

wheel, and 4 Pirates with your ship. The flag with the round
hoop mounts slides over the center mast and should be tack
glued to hold it in place. Do not force the part over the mast.
You might have to take a hobby knife and scrape out some of
the paint in the attachment area. The other flag glues to the
inside back of the stern. There is a small locating hole in the
back of the stern for the flag to glue to.

2. If you choose to attach the lifeboat we suggest you glue

it on the top of the center hatch.

3. The wheel (which doubles as a handle) should be glued

on the rear hatch using the pegs and holes provided. 

If you choose to sail with the pirate figures on deck (do so at
your own risk) we suggest you glue or use double-sided tape
to secure them into place.
