Louie da fly Posted November 19, 2020 Share #429 Posted November 19, 2020 Cri-Cri, the lower "block" would be taken all the way down to the keel, if the Lomellina wreck (probably built around 1503, wrecked 1516) is any guide. In French it used to be known as a sep de drisse - in English it's a halyard knight. However this picture shows the knight for the main halyard of the ship, which would be taking a lot of weight and force. There wasn't one found for either the foremast, or (interestingly) for the lateen mizzen. Nonetheless that's how I did it for my own lateen model: There's a bit of an issue with off-centre (twisting) forces caused by the rope running from the centre of the upper block down to the far right-hand sheave of the knight, but I don't now that there's anything you can do about that except accept that it happens. oneslim, mtaylor and J11 3 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

CRI-CRI Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share #430 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Thanks Louie da fly 😀 A french expert told me that the lower block was around 1480 an archaic block articulated on a cringle (Halyard knights arrive later) I would add that a large 600 kg antenna requires four reals, even using a capstan, otherwise, hoisting would be difficult Three reals is good for the misain mast, not for the main mast Finally, the pulley followed the inclination of the mast, (8° on the Niña), that is the reason why it was articulated Later, the halyard knights followed the same angle as the mast. (Otherwise, they would break quickly) I think that such a disposition prevented the problem of twisting rope you met on your referenced model Regards, Christian Edited November 19, 2020 by CRI-CRI mtaylor and J11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louie da fly Posted November 20, 2020 Share #433 Posted November 20, 2020 Very interesting explanation, Christian. I didn't know about the cringle suspension, but it makes sense - as does angling the knight to follow the inclination of the mast (which I also did on my own model). I agree about the need for 4 sheaves on a large yard or antenna. I only used three on my own, as blocks like this had been found in Byzantine shipwreck remains. mtaylor 1 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

mtaylor Posted November 22, 2020 Share #440 Posted November 22, 2020 The only difference I see on those two pictures is the rear mast placement. Not sure that's an error though. Nicely done on the radiators.
