I've only set up deadeyes on smaller boats (20 tons or so) where hand snugging the lee shrouds a little at a time tack to tack did a nice job.

Somewhere he has pix.
Ian snugging up deadeyes on the lee shroud is a terrible way to set up rigging....... just plain wrong, i get really miffed with people i've done rigging work for when they do this.

P.s Clyderigged is a member of this forum too
