Everest got a reaction from Ron Burns in Help needed for handling cross-grain parts without splitting
Try this. Using a 1/16" drill, drill a line of holes about an 1/8" apart away from the line. Don't force the drill. When that's done connect the " dots" with the xacto knife. Again don't force the tool. You will have to go over the cut several times. Then sand to the line.

Everest got a reaction from Mark P in Running rigging and backstays
The backstays are what's called running backstays. If you look at the photo you will see a block on the backstay on each side,one on the port side and one on the starboard side. When in use the weather side is kept taught and the one on the lee side is slacked off. On a down wind run the lee side is unhooked from the deck eye bolt and run forward to the mast.
I hope this explanation clears up your rigging quandry.
