HULL
ASSEMBLY - Mushroom Anchor
 |
1.
Permit class boats carried a single, mushroom shaped
anchor mounted under the stern on the starboard side.
This anchor is represented in your kit by a cast resin
part. Notice the contour of the part at left. The curve
follows the contour of the outer hull. Placed in its mounting
hole and properly positioned, the anchor sits flush against
the outer hull. Locate the anchor mounting hole and check
the part for fit. Familiarize yourself with the anchor's
proper orientation in the hole. |
 |
2.
Rough the surface to be glued around the hole with some
sandpaper.
|
 |
3.
Apply Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue to the anchor's underside... |
 |
4.
Place the mushroom anchor into position in the hole.
Hold or tape the part in place until the glue is completely
cured.
Initial
assembly of your Permit hull is now complete.
Soon we will be adding rudders, stern planes and propeller.
But first let's turn our attention to section 3, the
Sail...
