captain_hook Posted March 16, 2020 #1 Posted March 16, 2020 Hello everyone, I have a question regarding closed hearts and lashing. Looking at photos of contemporary models some stays have closed hearts that seem to be connected by infinite lashing - with no visible start or end. I wonder how this can be archived on a model - maybe some sort of splicing hidden on the back of the lashing but don‘t know. A picture below for visualisation. Thanks for any input. thibaultron and druxey 2 Quote Current Build: HM Brig Badger 1/48 from Caldercraft plans Le Coureur 1/48 by CAF — Completed Build: Armed Virginia Sloop 1/48 by Model Shipways / Gallery HM Cutter Sherbourne 1/64 by Caldercraft / Gallery
allanyed Posted March 16, 2020 #2 Posted March 16, 2020 Hello Hook From Lees Masting and Rigging, page 40. When hearts were used, the lanyard was spliced into the upper heart, then rove through alternate hearts, using as many turns as the heart would allow or until the lanyard was used up. The end of the lanyard was seized to the turn of the lanyard adjacent to itself with a couple of seizings.
