SawdustDave Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share #828 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) PROGRESS REPORT - All standing rigging completed. Some of the lines are much too white. I will be adding a slight tan stain to tone them down. Enough knot tying for now. Think I'll work on the anchor davits and build some anchors next. Someone do me a favor and look back at the second pic in #828 and tell me what the technical name for the "fan rigging" running from the top down to the shrouds.... starts with 4 blocks, then 8 "flyers" with 16 belaying points.Heck of a challenge to get the tensions right.

SawdustDave Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share #832 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Na....jbshan. I should have been more clear in my question. The rigging I am asking about runs from beneath the second top of the missen mast....four lines with single blocks.....then 8 blocks....then 16 ties onto the main mast shroud. Also ran into this type of rigging at the bow sprit mast. It's a real booger, I have never run into before. Took a few tries to work out the geometry and getting good tensions.

mtaylor Posted October 28, 2016 Share #833 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) Dave, I have no idea what it's called either but the Wasa had it also. Seemed to be common for the era.. so there must be a name for it besides "headache" or "reason to consume large quantities of alcohol". Edit: I checked Mondfeld... They're simply called "stays". Later those blocks and lines were not used.

jbshan Posted October 28, 2016 Share #834 Posted October 28, 2016 Don't hit me with that big stick. Mizzen topmast stay. They only lasted a short while either side of 1650. Perhaps the idea was to keep the center clear for the mizzen lateen yard. The fan of the lines would have spread the load over more of the after main shroud to which they belay. They were found on both English and European ships.

SawdustDave Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share #835 Posted October 28, 2016 Jbshan.... You be da MAN! Although I like Mark's "Reason to drink large quantities of alcohol"....

marktiedens Posted October 28, 2016 Share #836 Posted October 28, 2016 I believe they are called "crows feet" - have done a few myself. Awesome looking ship!

mtaylor Posted October 28, 2016 Share #837 Posted October 28, 2016 Mark Crowsfeet were later than this and went from the front of the top to a euphroe and back up to the top, repeatedly. See the first pic/drawing attached. These run between the stays and involve blocks... bunches of blocks. You can see them on the shot of my Wasa attached.

popeye2sea Posted October 29, 2016 Share #838 Posted October 29, 2016 Marktiedens is right.

SawdustDave Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share #840 Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) So, now we have a name for the hair-pulling rigging.... "Crows foot" Then, I assume what I've been wrestling with would be called "Double Crow's Foot". Whatever we call it, I came to the shop this morning and, after careful study, concluded the entire bowsprit rigging had too much slack and had to be re-tensioned. This took four cups of coffee and almost as many hours.Still not perfect, but as good as it's going to get.
