The Netherlands (and the coast regions of Germany) of course are specialized in avoiding damage caused by floods because they have learned from the experience in the past. But nobody could imagine, that rainfalls in the western regions of Germany (Rhineland-Palatinate) ever could cause floods on such a scale. I live in the southwest of Germany and for the first time saw the river in our village coming out and flooding the main street. Luckily there was only little damage because the flood was by far not as serious than in the regions of western Germany.A story to read about the flood

Deadly floods inundated parts of Europe, but the Netherlands avoided fatalities. Here's why
As communities devastated by the catastrophic flooding in parts of western Europe start picking up the pieces, they are wondering how it all went so wrong, so fast. After all, Europe has a world-leading warning system that issued regular alerts for days before floods engulfed entire villages.cnnphilippines.com
Thanks Kirill, yes it looks like there to many. But this was a big ship with big sails. For that time there where on the main and fore course each sail 4 buntlines and 2 leechlines. That are 6 sheaves each yard.I have big doubts that there could be so many aux sheaves on them...
Thanks Ab. Good idea. I will think about it. So I can make always the same looking rope. The rope walk is made in 2 parts. On the picture before is the main part. The other part is the moving car to twist the yarns. I will attach a picture below. The motor is very strong, not fast.Nice rope walk. You should consider to install a counter, to know how many turns you have to do to to twist the yarns.
