PierreJean Posted August 18, 2013 #1 Posted August 18, 2013 Hi All I am rigging the Caldercraft Model of HMB endeavour. I have reached the futtock shrouds but my plans are a little ambiguous about the metal bar the shrouds are attached to. Is the bar on the outside of the lower shrouds (the seaward side) or the inside (the mast side)? Studying the forces involved seems to indicate inside the main shrouds would be logical, but I would like to be sure.

UdoK Posted August 18, 2013 #2 Posted August 18, 2013 Hi Pierre, I have checked on the AotS Book of the Endeavour, the futtock staves are on the inside (mastside), you are right.

molasses Posted August 18, 2013 #3 Posted August 18, 2013 An illustration from The Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor by Darcy Lever shows the futtock stave on the inside of shrouds as logic suggests. The book is an excellent source for answers to almost any rigging question with abundant, clear illustrations. Available as a paperback book from the usual internet sources for about $15.
