wq3296 Posted June 13, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2015 Greetings, The Victory's main stay is said to be 19" in circumference - approx. 6" dia. for those keeping score at home. I expect this was one of the larger main stays ever used, but am curious to know the size of the largest main stay, cable, hawser, etc. ever used on a sailing ship. You never know - this question might come up on Jeopardy. wq3296 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbshan Posted June 13, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2015 That's all based on size of main mast, right? Breadth for the cables? If the tables are right, the largest would go with the largest hull or masting. mtaylor 1 Quote Joel Sanborn http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9953-lexington-by-jbshan-dlumberyard-164-from-the-seaways-practicum-by-clay-feldman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
