DaveBaxt Posted December 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2020 Noticed that some of these are fitted to the ends of yards.Just wondering if the pendant is a specific part or is it just made up of extra wipping to create a long piece of rope between the yard and the block. Hope this makes sense as I have not done this before and wondered how it is achieved.

Jim Lad Posted December 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2020 Nothing extra special about it, Dave. Like all such pieces of rigging just a length of rope of the correct size to suit the job. John mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just a length of rope with each end wrapped around the block and the yard and then seized in a number of places at both ends .Best Regards Dave mtaylor 1 Quote Completed St Canute Billings Dec 2020 Completed HMS Bounty Amati May 2021 Finished Currently building HM Bark Endeavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye2sea Posted December 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted December 24, 2020 As John mentioned, a pendant is usually just a length of rope employed to offset a block from it's attachment point, usually in order to provide a better or more convenient lead. One end usually has an eye spliced in sized to fit around a mast like the mast tackle pendant or a yard as in a brace pendant or yard tackle pendant. The other end could have a thimble or an eye splice, or it can have a block turned in for a tackle. Regards, mtaylor 1 Quote Henry Laissez le bon temps rouler !
