Thank you for your nice comment.
Continuation: Addition of the lifts of the lower yards – Balancines de basse vergue
In the last post I described why and how I will carry out the tackles of the lifts from the lower yards. I have drawn a corresponding sketch for this.
First I made a swivel for this, as can be seen in the following picture. It was made in the same way as the swivel hooks for the topsail halyards.
Two opposing notches are filed into a brass disk d = 0.3 mm with a ø 2.3 mm and a bore ø 0.8 mm, which then accommodate the ø 0.4 mm thick brass bow wire for soldering. The eyebolt is secured so that it can rotate freely with a soldered brass sleeve.
Next, the double and single blocks for the tackles have to be made. I will again equip the larger blocks for the lifts of the main and fore yard with real disks.
At this point I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a good start into the New Year!
