Main Sheet Clueline and Tack

I kind of got caught up and just continued on without recording it. So I’m going to hurry up and get caught up.

Anyway, this is all the tackle for the Main Sheet Clueline. It is secured to the Hull using a Ring on the lower end and it goes into a Hole in the side of the Hull so that it can be pulled.

Fore Mast Braces

I’m going to just compile all the Yard Braces for the Fore Mast Yards in 1 Post. These guys go backwards towards the Main Mast through the Blocks and secured down on the deck somewhere.

This Double Block will go under the Main Mast Top and the Braces for Fore Mainsail and Topsails will run through it
