Jimmyskiff 2 foredeck/Mastpartner

Hi there

First of all, thanks for this great kit! Its so much fun to put it toghether, weekend-family-fun…

But now to our question: we are about to put the foredeck in place. Now we just wonder whether the “mastpartner-hole” should be aligned with the frontbulkhead, in a way that the mast then kind of touches the bulkhead when in place, or whether there must be a gap. If there has to be a gap between the mast and the front bulkhead, is this gap given by the mastpartner-reinforcement or should it be wider (how much?)?

Thanks for your thoughts)
