This part has little to do with KIT. It's intended for friends who want to make sail ropes. It's provided free of charge in KIT.

Interesting!  

Do you have any information about how this part is used?

This is called a jib traveller. Standard books on rigging will show you details.

Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series  http://trafalgar.tv

Wow, will most certainly be watching for availability of the kit.  Look forward to more of the thread.

Hello, everyone, we haven't updated the development progress for a long time. When we produce metal parts, we find that one part has been unable to meet our requirements. This problem will be solved in the next few days. We tested a blackening agent for zinc alloy. Here we share it with you. It consists of three parts, 1. Surface activation (I personally think low concentration hydrochloric acid) 2. Blackening agent (I don't know what ingredients) 3. Surface isolator (similar to varnish), because the liquid can't be mailed, I think you can buy similar products locally. The development is expected to be completed in the next week. Thank you again for your attention.

That's some neat blackening. I have actual brass-black, and access to hydrochloric acid. I might play around with the chemistry a little.

 

Thanks for the update.

I found that the blackening treatment of zinc alloys has a benefit, which is not excessive slagging like copper oxidation.It doesn't matter if you soak for two hours.

I apologize if my question is already answered, but what kind of wood is primarily being used in the hull framing?
