Yes, the whole situation with the chasers and the steering rig is kinda unsatisfying, I for myself don't think that the Syren would have steered only with the tiller, maybe a reduced rig but not completly rigless. Anyway I'm with Mark, we don't know but we can show what might have been and we can even "mix" it a bit just to show the possibilities
Anyway back to the shipyard I finished the chain/pendant/tackle-System.
And also build the new tiller
As Dafi stated it might be that we have a missing tension mechanism for the steering rig. I for myself did not find anything for a ship of this class. I found NMM drawings of the mechanism for the Euralyus and the Hind. So right now I will solve this issue with a lashed tackle on one of the blocks.
I try to get myself in the mood to go on with the carronade rigging ... hard ... haha
So, at it is a little overdue .... macro time ...
Steering related ...
cheers,
Dirk
