Loracs Posted July 3 Share #1 Posted July 3 (edited) A quick question: The first shroud (toward the bow) of the main masts is generally a served rope for all the length. What about the first shroud of the mizzen and Bonaventure masts (the smaller back two masts)? Should I serve the first rope to length too? Sorry for the beginner questions.... this is my first rigging.

popeye2sea Posted July 5 Share #2 Posted July 5 The rational for a fully served shroud is to reduce chafe from the sails and associated rigging when the yards are braced around. So, if the mast that you are rigging only has a fore and aft sail, then I do not believe a fully served forward shroud is warranted.
