Daily Drawing 0013 - Mainsail Clew

Quick study to remind me how to put together the rigging at the clew of the fore or main course, post-1800.  Tack block (on the left) is seized in the clew, sheet block (right) and clew block (hidden behind the sail) are both stropped around the clew.  Note that the strops on these blocks are fully served, due to their proximity to the water.  Most strops would be unserved, to facilitate inspection of their integrity.
