[Alexander74]

Hello everyone.
Continuation of work on the hull. Completed installation of the rotary hoists for the carronade guns.

Eyes in the deck for anchor rope and hoists

Fitting the parts and pre-assembling the bowsprit, jib and boom. After installing the bowsprit on the hull, it will be inconvenient.
The matter moves on to the rigging

В России, как и в Англии, бом-утлегарь проводили по правому борту, а его коренной конец (шпор) крепился найтовами к утлегарю, а не к эзельгофту.
In Russia, as in England, the boom-jib was carried along the starboard side, and its root end (spur) was secured with lashings to the boom, and not to the eselgoft (cap).

Let's look at Nekrasov's drawings. There the boom-jib is attached exactly as I showed above.

При всём уважении к Олегу Ильичу, я всё-таки говорю не про его картинки, а про российскую кораблестроительную школу тех лет, взять хотя бы в виде простейшего примера те же труды Александра Яковлевича Глотова.
With all due respect to Oleg Ilyich, I am still not talking about his pictures, but about the Russian shipbuilding school of those years, take, for example, the works of Alexander Yakovlevich Glotov.
