Jparsley Posted May 31, 2015 #1 Posted May 31, 2015 Ok I may have missed a post based on this but forgive me if I have How far down a shroud should you seize your rope or do you seize the entire one Thanks for any advice USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
amateur Posted May 31, 2015 #2 Posted May 31, 2015 As always: it may depend on your ship and the period concerned. As far as I know, the part around the masttop,is always seized, asis the part that is turned around the deadeyes. In many countries/periods, the most forward shroud is seized over its full length, but as always, there are exceptions. Jan druxey 1

druxey Posted June 1, 2015 #4 Posted June 1, 2015 The foremost fore and main shrouds would have been served all over. The others would be served along the middle ¼ of the pair's overall length.

mtaylor Posted June 1, 2015 #5 Posted June 1, 2015 Are you asking about seizing or serving, Jeff? The Constelltion does have some long seizings from the deadeyes up. If you go here: http://www.blogstaugustinelighthouse.org/blog/08JUN05_USSConstlln_070.jpg It looks like they go up 4 ratlines or 6 feet at full-size.
