After that I seized the shrouds (each loop to itself) just below the fighting platform. That tightened things up a bit and straighten out the shrouds. It should make it easier to ratline.

Before I ratline, I will be installing the Bentinck shrouds which go through the main shrouds. I am not going to do it using the method shown in the book. It looks way too clumsy. I will be doing it more like Tom Culb did it without many of the out of proportion thimbles the instructions would have you use.
I will be going on vacation for the next few weeks. I look forward to doing more work on this great cross section when I return!
