One of the things I love about a website like SoS is that it provides a chance for a new learning experience every day. The use of gammoning lashing or rack blocks varied. Those ships that had them averaged 6 single sheaves in each according to James Lees in The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War on page 167. He does not mention anything about what size ships had them or what era they covered. The photo below is from Lees book of Leda.

His book is so full of useful information and a gold mine for any model ship builder of period ships!!!
