Fitting out

121 The 17-metre mast swings out over the hull

122 The mast weighs around half a tonne

123 A mistake now could damage the ship badly

124 It's a nervous moment for the construction team

125 Centimetre by centimetre the mast is edged into position

126 Then the mast stays are attached

127 Luca Belfioretti climbs the mast to disentangle ropes

128 Back on deck the mast stays are fitted

129 Soon the first mast is standing proud

130 Then the second mast is lowered in

131 The second mast's stays are fixed

132 The next step will be to fit the yards to support the sails

133 Soon the Jewel of Muscat will begin her sea trials
