I'm installing the jibstay on The Discovery1789. Lees, on page 125, says, "The falls consisted of two single blocks, the lower one stropped to a deadeye on the stool; the deadeyes mentioned are those holding the backstay down."
He doesn't mention whether it was the upper or lower deadeye or how the block was stropped to it and I'm having trouble figuring out how to strop a block to a deadeye. Can anyone help me out? Maybe a picture or a link.
Thanks
