Hmmm... good comments. The 2 errors come from the fact that I am not a real
sailor (I was on a submarine inthe Navy).

1. I can correct how the ropes are laid. Which is correct? Right hand or
left?

2. If I understand correctly, the strap running around each block should
have a loop in it and the running rigging should then go through & then
loop back on its self.

3. THe cantenary is there and is part of the original macro by Chris
Colefax.

Thanks for helping make it accurate.
