Hi. I don't know how much "tiny" but see whether those joints from an old umbrella might suits you... Thx

Hi. I follow the procedure where the upper deadyes are already attached on the edge of a shroud but the seizing knots are slidable. So I have the ability to align all of them. See there "A way of seizing (my way)" Thx

Thank you Chaptman Yes I have read about that also in the fight against Aegean pirates, where the chase in no wind state, was kept on by rowing boats. But again in this case the boats were parts of the chaser ship. In my cases these small fleets (one schooner and 12-13 boats), were formed quikly to seize the chance. And what make me wonder is , whether was posible some of those specific type of boats (is narrated as "maltese" boats), could be kept in ports or near by, for these kind of missions. Thx

Thank you both. Yes, it's rather something similar since the tactic in Danish gunboat war, was exclusively between armed small boats attacking a target. In my cases there were only armed men using the unarmed boats like tranfering vessels. Thx

Hello all. I'm in the middle of a search related to an Ottoman small rowing boat, maybe also with some kind of riggs, back in 1800. In two historical cases, this kind of boat in a number of 12-13 of them full of gunmen, were accompanying-supporting a schooner, as all togethere, were attacing in an enemy vessel. Does this pattern indicates a kind of a naval tactic of that time. Is there someone who could inform me about. Many thanks in advance. Thx

Hello. Having inventing this "my way of seizing" I would suggest to take a look in the below sketches. A. Shows how you should fold the thread around the bowsprit if there are already other rigging stuff alongside. It also shows the "premade" seizing, from which all the thread's edges should pass. Here the seizing is off the tool but it would be easier if you pass all the edges of the threads while the seizing is on the tool. B. Shows the already placed seizing (still a bit loose) and the deadeye in the upper loop. C. Shows that first you have to tighten the maine thread and then the thread of the seizing. At the end there will be a double loop around the bowsprit and a single one around the deadeye. Cut all edges and a bit of glue will secure the whole set. I hope it could be helpful. Thx

Hello and happy New year.
See whether you can find something new-useful in the link (pdf file).
There is some sources about the ship's base in Samos in page 67 and drawings and a photo in pages 148-149.

Hi. According to my library, Those blind chain plates, seem like additional suport (beneath) for the channels themself. The eyebolts could be fitted for general use...(?). Thx
