How to avoid twisted lanyards


Captain Al

Recommended Posts

Well thanks to so many contributors I think I have gotten it right finally.  There are several different things to consider in order to make it perfect (such as to swivel the deadeyes or not, and certainly how to increase the tension more) but the reeving itself I think is now correct and most important, its now presentable and satisfactory to me as a first build.  So thanks again to everyone who added a comment and suggestion.

Looks much better.  Final suggestion, if you lock the lower deadeyes in place, you can tighten up the lanyards (remember, on the real ship they are quite tight to hold the mast steady from side to side) which should pull the upper deadeye in line fairly well now that the lanyards are run correctly so that they won't be trying to force a twist.

Captain Al,

 

Thank you for posting this thread. The process is much clearer to me now, thanks to the many fine responses.
