What’s this rope do? (18th Century yacht)

[clogger]

Can someone help identify what this rope is for on the stern of my French 18th Century Port Yacht? Highlighted green on the plan. I’m still at the rigging phase.

They are called Rudder pendants and are there in case they lose the inboard tiller and they can use it for emergency steering, also they can be used to reposition the rudder if it comes adrift,
