It should be noted here that there is an order for tieing off the belaying pins. You will have Sheets, Leech lines, Bunt lines, Clew lines, etc, ALL of which MUST be used and eventually terminate at the BELAYING PIN RAILS. Lifted up and down and managed the tightness, etc.

Yard braces also will have pulleys that the line eventually end at a "BELAYING PIN RAIL" This applies to every yard must have braces. The Yard must be able to swing from side to side to allow the wind to capture which makes the ship go forth. Yard braces have lines that attach to each end of the Yard. Each end of the yard has lines that travel up to the mast with a pulley of some sort and that line eventually makes it way (usually) to the BASE of its Mast. Most all yard lifts are basically rigged the same. RUNNING RIGGING (lines that move or make adjustments to sails or yards) Then each staysail will have its own line to tie off (running part) Where the line travels from mast to mast at the top is where the staysail will be "attached" with loops or rings. For a Staysail that is mounted between teh foremast and mainmast, there would be for instance one line that would run from the BASE of the aft foremast up to the end of the staysail, then run the length of the staysail, using a pulley and then terminating at the "fore" BASE of the Main Mast.

This portion of rigging could be allocated in either section, but I chose to include it here because according to some research I did, the Flying Jibs and Staysails need to have a STATIONARY line of which the sail is "supported by".

Stays for the "Flying Jibs and Staysails".

The Shrouds also have Ratlines that run horizontal. All Shrouds will attach to the Deadeyes which have their own rigging. All Shrouds support the mast as of Port to Starboard (or side to side support). It is also possible to have some stays that attach to mast and will run to each side of ship to offer even more support. It is possible to have several STAYS but they all run center-line fore to aft. What I mention here is an example or typical. From the TOP of the Mizzen Mast, a line to the BASE of the Main mast. An example, the top of the Main Mast will have a line that will run from the TOP of the Main Mast to the BASE of the foremast. This "pattern" is repeated with the Main Mast. Then with that in mind, you will also have another stay on the foremast located about halfway down that will run down to the bowsprit. For instance, a "Stay" will run from the very top foremast down to the bowsprit tip. All Stays support the mast running in the CENTER of the ship from Fore to Aft. Below is in my opinion is a good order of things with the first item mentioned would be the FIRST thing to rig up: The easiest as has been mentioned is to work in an orderly fashion and I would go as far as saying that it is really a necessity to work in a order to avoid being trapped in a situation that you can not reach or get to a particular section.

All warships will have basically the same rigging "Pattern".
