Jim Lad got a reaction from Ryland Craze in Ratlines, attaching of..
Jeff, spending the rest of your life tying little knots is one of the joys of rigging a large sailing ship!
Actually, clove hitches are very quick and easy to tie and will help your model to look really authentic. Tension on the shrouds shouldn't be a problem as the ratlines are slightly slack and don't pull on the shrouds.

Jim Lad got a reaction from Scottish Guy in Cutty Sark by Bruma - Revell - 1:96 - PLASTIC
That photo was taken from one of the boats. The ship isn't moving very fast in the light breeze and if you look closely, you can see a line leading back from the whisker boom - no doubt a painter to make sure the boat didn't get left behind.

Bruma, this link to a photo of the 'Cutty Sark' taken in Sydney during her working days may be of use to you. It's from a glass plate negative, so is very fine grained and can be enlarged quite a bit.
