Ferit Posted February 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2019 A help request... Has the drawing a historical accuracy for the year of 1674 for the flags of the topgallant masts? mtaylor 1 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted February 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Hello Ferit, I asked this question last year. The general consensus of opinion was that the flag halliard sheave or sheaves usually run fore and aft either side of the mast.

Ferit Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted February 26, 2019 Thank you Dave, for your immediate reply... It's really big family here, NRGMSW... Then I have to make miniscule hanging blocks... mtaylor and druxey 2 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flag halliard sheave is fitted into the Mast Cap. Just drill two holes close together in the mast cap running fore and aft to simulate a sheave.

Ferit Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted February 26, 2019 Hi Dave, If I understand correctly: The mechanism on the drawing is correct but the location of the sheave is not. The halliard comes from aft to fore... (the sheave is just on the center of the mast cap, the halliard jumps from aft to fore over the cap.)

Ferit Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted February 26, 2019 I found another picture on the web. Another mechanism. Let me know your opinion on it... Any historical accuracy? mtaylor 1 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted February 27, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Hi Ferit, go back to page 3 on this the masting,rigging and sails section. The third thread down is the question I asked last October. 4 replies,1 diagram from Levers' book,a photo of an actual mast cap/truck and a photo of one of Doris's Ship model caps. Your two pics show the flag halliard going through a hole over the top of the mast cap then down through another hole. There should be a sheave fitted there,otherwise the flag halliard would be quickly worn out. Hopefully that will answer your question.

Ferit Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted February 28, 2019 Hi Dave, First of all, I'm sorry to ask again a question that has already been asked and solved... I have missed it... Being so far from terminology I don't understand many things without illustrated narrative even if I translate the typed text. Now, it is clear after the pictures in your topic. Thank you for your interest and help... davyboy 1 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
