Anchoring the trusses to the deck is no problem and accomplished. The jeers, however, create a problem. The instructions have them tied off to the bitt in front of the mast. Toni Levine, in her wonderful tutorial, has them treated like the trusses with blocks and hooks to eyes at the bottom of the mast. Haven't decided which way to go yet. In any event, I'm going to rig the gaff next. And the catharpins will follow. Your truss pendants look a little odd to me. I don't see a nave line supporting them.....is it just the angle of the photo? Keith Black 1 Quote
TBlack Posted Monday at 03:13 PM Author #303 Posted Monday at 03:13 PM Ian, I'm not sure I understand why you think a nave-line is necessary. In any event, I followed Toni Levine's tutorial on how to rig the truss pendants. My version is not as neat as hers, but it's all there. Tom Keith Black 1 Quote

Tom I thought nave lines were equipped in British ships of the period, like on Victory, as described by Longridge; but after looking in Lees it seems not. Ah, the mysteries of rigging.

TBlack Posted 4 hours ago Author #306 Posted 4 hours ago I've added the lifts for the fore lower yard, not according to the plan, but following Delph's example. Having those afixed, and the yard square, it allows me to put tension on the rest of the lines on that yard. Then I can fasten them to the bitt on the deck. Keith Black and Coyote_6 2 Quote
