Hi Alan. I ended up going with one riding bitt(s). That's what the drawing shows so that's what I did.

Hi Don
I am guessing you mean one set/pair? Can you give a lead to where the drawings you posted can be downloaded as this is truly fascinating to me and I would really like to file the plans for the future. As always seems to be the case, there were variations of all kinds on these old ships.
Many thanks
Allan

It's the Discovery1789. The plans are here way down at the bottom of the page.

RNG has them too.

Thanks Don, The drawings are really helpful and I see that there is one set of riding bitts aft of the foremast with two standards and two bitt pins. I think some of my confusion was more a matter of terminology.
Thanks again, much appreciated.
