Step 6 Mid-taft
It is now time to construct the mid-taft. Cut around the outline of this shape and fold it along the dotted lines to produce a rectangular shaped ‘box’. Using a sharp pencil or compass pierce two holes where the black dots are. These will be for supporting the mast, so need to be big enough to insert the mast but not too big as a snug fit is desirable in order that the mast is not wobbly. Glue the flaps of the box together before applying more glue to the ends of the mid-taft and sticking it into the centre of your galley, which should now be rather more rigid. It is now ready for the shields.
