freewheelinguy Posted January 16, 2014 #1 Posted January 16, 2014 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.

freewheelinguy Posted January 17, 2014 Author #3 Posted January 17, 2014 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?

druxey Posted January 17, 2014 #4 Posted January 17, 2014 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."

freewheelinguy Posted January 17, 2014 Author #5 Posted January 17, 2014 To the end it is. Would think Steel the correct source. Thanks for taking the time to post. Most greatly appreciated.
