Michelnou Posted December 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2020 On my Baltimore schooner (around 1810) I contemplate to bound backstays to deck by means of deadeyes. Knowing that I have already eyepins glueded in the deck, what is the best method to fasten the bottom deadeye to the eyepin ? With rope or wire ? Thank for advices Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelnou Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted December 13, 2020 Finally I will replace backstays deadeyes with blocks. These blocks will be rope stropped to allow the fixing with deck's eyepins. Mike mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted December 13, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 13, 2020 Mike, As usual, photos would likely get you more responses. Are you sure the backstays would go to the deck and not to the cap rail or channel? If to the channel, deadeyes could be the way to go, but if to the cap rail, a pair of single blocks seems to be the rigging on plans I have looked at.
