Update Information
Looking at the ratlines now added to the fore shrouds. In real life, ratlines were attached by way of an eye splice at each end, and around each of the shrouds in between using a clove hitch. To save on polys, the eye splices have been omitted, and are put on in the same way as at the other shrouds, which is by means of a half hitch. The resulting effect is identical, as you will never see the ship close enough to determine how the ratlines are secured!
