Having tidied up some blocks I've spent a few hours this evening splicing ropes. I've used 4mm hempex rope for the upper shrouds. Each upper shroud is spliced onto one of the wooden blocks. Spliced to the base of each of the blocks is 6mm hempex and this will run from the upper block down through the lower block and back up through the top block. Then it will run back down to the lower block where it will be tied off.
Well that's the theory and hopefully it will work and the new blocks will have a more traditional look.
I'll fit them tomorrow and test run them on Monday.
