popeye2sea Posted April 27, 2013 #1 Posted April 27, 2013 In looking through the various build logs I have noted that the typical cannon is rigged with the breeching rope around the cascabel of the cannon and a single in-haul tackle. On some models of French ships I see breeching ropes passing through the carriage and two in-haul tackles. Is the latter method typical of French ships? Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler !

mtaylor Posted April 27, 2013 #2 Posted April 27, 2013 Henry, The short answer is "yes". You'll also see some Spanish ships with that method also.
