preventer shrouds

[dak4482]

Hi all.
In Jean Boudriot's vol 3 page 131 of his 74 gun ship series he talks about PREVENTER SHROUDS and states that they were temporary and usually used only in foul weather. His explanation as to how they were fit/routed is very confusing to me. Anyone have a clear diagram of how they were fit/routed and finished at the channels? These are not the preventer Stays I am asking about. No results on a search here. Any help is greatly appreciated.....Dan

Hi, it took me a while to find information on this specific item, but I found a detailed description of how it’s made and what it’s used for. I’m posting it as an image. Frank
