Help with belaying to cross bits

[traumadoc]

I know this is probably basic, this is my first real build and as retired surgeon I am a bit OCD with some aspects of this. I have to belay some rigging to the Cross bits, but I have been unable to find any instructions on the “proper” way to do this. I can find directions for cleats, and pins, but nothing on how to tie to the cross bit

Just one point, your guns' breech tackle should have more slack, to allow them room to be re-loaded.
If you mean the fife rails by 'cross bits', then the rope is clove hitched back above the upper pulley block. (if I'm wrong, I'm sure some ABS will correct me)

excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by cross bits?

I think he means 'fife rails', Jack.

Are you sure there are no belaying pins in the cross bits(fife rails)?

Good work on the ship. It's beautiful.
