Trying to find out how much of the forward most shroud on a mast is served.   I believe all the other shrouds on a particular mast should be served for a quarter of each shroud, but my information indicates the first shroud is fully served.  By saying completely does this mean even around it's deadeye or does it stop before the deadeye?  Would greatly appreciate any clarification on my question.

 

Happy modeling,

Now I'm back to confused.

 

"Anatomy of Nelson's Ships by Longridge" page 228....Foremost leg of the fore pair, both the fore and main mast, is served throughout its whole length down to the deadeye.  Is Longridge correct?

My limited understanding is that the foremost shroud is served along its whole length. Steel's Rigging and Seamanship (1794) says "…all the way to the end."
