The New Rigged Ship

  1-8   1s2s 4 hands round and back;

  9-16 1s2s3s reels of 3 on own sides, giving right shoulder to 2s to start;

17-24 1s lead down the middle and back to the top;

25-27 1s cross and cast;

28-30 1s cross by the left and cast to 3rd place;

31-36 1s lead up to the top and cast to face first corners;

37-38 1s set to first corners;

39-40 1s set to second corners;

41-46 1s reels of 3 on opposite sides, giving right shoulder to 2nd corners to start;

47-48 1s cross to own sides, finishing 2s1s3s.

25-36 As is typical of many older dances, the allocation of time for the individual elements is somewhat arbitrary; this leads to the counter-intuitive detailed phrasing as follows. However, since this is a solo for the 1s, it's not critical so long as they finish correctly, facing first corners.

25-26 1s cross normally.

27-27 1s cast more quickly than normally.

28-29 1s cross at normal speed but with abnormal phrasing.

30-30 1s cast more quickly than normally.

31-32 1s lead up quickly (nearer hands joined is more helpful since this precedes casting on own sides) finishing in the centre, facing out towards original places.

33-36 1s cast slowly, finishing facing first corners.

35-36 In the original instructions, 2s step up here, probably recognising that 1s may be behind the music.
