Jeronimo Posted February 13, 2015 Author #608 Posted February 13, 2015 Hello Friends. Who can help? What function these ropes? Rigging Plan Main-Mast: 6. Main winding-tackle pendant 26. Main winding-tackles Many thanks in advance. Greeting Karl WackoWolf, archjofo, tadheus and 3 others 6 Quote
davyboy Posted February 13, 2015 #609 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Hi Karl. In English Ships these were called Masthead or Burton tackles and pendants and were fitted on both Fore and Mainmasts They were used for moving/lifting heavy objects on/off the deck and also were used to tension the shroud lanyards. They also gave some additional support to the lower masts. I would imagine this was also the same purpose in French Ships. The pendant would have a large thimble spliced in the end which the Tackle hooked into. These were (in English Ships) rigged on the mast before the shrouds were rigged. Sorry,can't speak for French ships but they look to be underneath the shrouds on your plan I noticed on your rigging plan that there is a number 7 and 27. That appears (to me) to be another masthead tackle with a long tackle block hooked into the pendant thimble. Sorry I can only quote about English practice but hope it is of some help to you. Kind regards, Dave Edited February 13, 2015 by davyboy mtaylor, WackoWolf and Jeronimo 3 Quote

SuperSylvester Posted February 16, 2015 #611 Posted February 16, 2015 Many respect for your work Karl, just went through your build. Excellent! I think the ropes you mentioned are simular to the 'kardeelbloks' as they appear on the Dutch 7-provinces and the Hohenzollern model for example. I had to make them too lately. Cheers, Jack Jeronimo 1 Quote

Massive objections and pressure through my admiralty and government with regard to the enormous size of the display case required an amendment to the plan.
