Really looking great. I have to admit I swear some as well when doing ladders. At least I do it in Canadian so my wife doesn’t always know what I’m saying.

Hey Bri. I noticed you didn’t put your balls on the racks yet. Haha Is there a reason for that.?

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully the following will be of interest and useful.

From Mondfeld Historic Ship Models:

Generally speaking, the lower diameter of a belaying pin was never less than the diameter of the rope which was to be belayed. As only one size of belaying pin was kept on board, its diameter was that of the thickest rope to be belayed."

Starting with the largest rope diameter to be belayed, and using that as the lower diameter of the pin, you can calculate the overall pin length from these diagrams.

For example, if the largest rope was 1 inch diameter and the pin was wooden from after 1800, the pin length would be 1 x 16 = 16 inches.
