aviaamator reacted to JerseyCity Frankie in Top Rope Pendents
Pretend the lower Mast is 100’ to the cap. With the Topmast fidded and in place the TOPROPE is fixed to the starboard side of the cap, runs through the sheave at the Topmast heel, back up to the lead block on the port side of the cap, then 100’ down to the deck. Paint the TOPROPE red at the point it’s belayed on deck to mark that portion of the rope.
Now lower away. The Topmast has descended to deck. In order to get there, 200’ feet of TOPROPE had to run through the leadblock at the cap, with 100’ more feet to still get back to belay on deck. The TOPROPE had to be AT LEAST 300’ long to appear as it does in the second drawing. The red painted portion of the Toprope would have passed through the leadblock when exactly 50’ of the Topmast had descended need to the deck. If there was a block at that point on the line, the Mast could not descend any farther.
Theres a chance a rig that includes tackle on the Toprope isn’t INTENDED to lower the Topmast all the way to the deck. A Toprope with tackle on it could be intended for use only in HOUSINGthe Topmast, that’s only INTENDED to get the Topmast halfway down. This was common enough and done in bad weather to reduce windage aloft in storms.

aviaamator reacted to Gregory in brace pendants
Mondfeld, in Historic Ship Models, says ( with regard to Europe ) the pendant was very short in ancient/medieval times and grew longer until the 16/17th centuries when it was
4/10 ( 2/5 ) the length of the yard.
In the course of the 18th century it was shortened until around 1800, when it was situated immediately on the yard arm.
I would suspect US practices would have closely followed Europe in many respects.

I continue to study woodcarving, please advise what option of a Board with a name of the ship I have to choose, from above or from below? Also in the photo I'm repairing the propeller for the paraglider, and the ship's cat appeared...

Really a lovely model, Aviaamotor! I really like the use of heat to highlight the banner carving border; it reminds me of shading in marquetry. I will be following along with great interest.
