tkay11 Posted March 24, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2021 Just as a matter of interest, I was wondering whether the 4-sheave halliard blocks of some lateen rigs were attached to the mast or just held there by the force of the ropes. The illustration is from the monograph of the Allège d'Arles published by Ancre, and shows the block I refer to. Any answers are welcome!

G. Delacroix Posted March 25, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2021 Hello, This large block is attached to the deck by ropes. The ring-bolt for this ropes are attached on the rear beam of the mast.

tkay11 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted March 25, 2021 Thanks, Gérard. I thought that might be the case. but just wanted to make sure. It'll also make it far easier to rig!
