Ship rigging work is work with cables performed during the manufacture and repair of rigging and various items of ship equipment.

It consists of the following simple tools and devices (Fig. 1):

• Pile - a wooden or steel cone-shaped rod of straight or curved shape, used to separate and punch strands in cables;
• Draek - wooden block circular cross-section, thinning from the middle to the ends, used for tightening (tearing out) cables and separating strands;
• Mushkel - wooden hammer, intended for leveling and compacting strands after cable repair;
• Half-muskel - a wooden hammer with a longitudinal bale on the striker, used to tension the cage when braiding the cable;
• Shovel - wooden or metal with a hole in the middle for threading the cage; it is used instead of a half-fly when making a rope;
• Trepal - a narrow board, pointed at the end, used in the manufacture of mats.

In addition to the listed tools, to perform this you must have:

• Axes;

• Chisels;
• Vise;
• Sledge hammer, wire cutters, etc.

Brands and benzels

The marking refers to the tying of the cable to seal its ends and secure the unreleased part. Benzel - joint ligation of two cables for connection. To apply marobenzels, sailing thread-heels, thin plant threads (lines) and wire are used.

Depending on the method of application, the mark (Fig. 2) can be:

• Simple;
• Self-tightening;
• With a snake;
• With punching.

In order to get a simple mark, one end of the line is laid along the cable in the form of some covering with hoses around the cable. The free end of the line is threaded into a loop, with its help it is pulled under the hose, after which the ends of the line are cut short.

Rice. 2 Stamps
a - simple;
b - self-tightening;
c - with a snake;
g - with punching

When applying a self-tightening mark, one end of the line is laid along the cable, covered with five or six hoses, and then the other end of the line is laid along the cable, which is also covered with hoes. The slack formed during the process is removed and the ends of the line are cut off.

A stamp with a snake is about a stamp supplemented with a snake, stamp slugs are installed, it increases its strength. You can punch the butt end of the line between the strands of the cable alternately on each side. This type of stamp is called a punched stamp.

The most common types of benzels (Fig. 3) are:

• Half benzel;
• Straight benzel;
• Benzel with lid and stopper.

A half-benzel is a simple mark laid on two cables running side by side. To increase strength, the half-benzel can be made with a snake.

Rice. 3 Benzels
a - half-benzel;
b - straight;
c - with roof;
g - stopper

The straight (round) benzel has slags applied in two layers. In this case, the free end of the line under the hoses is pulled through using a pre-laid conductor loop.

When applying a benzel with a lid, the end of the line is secured with a noose on one of the cables and 10-15 hoses are placed on the cables. Then the benzel is cut, for which the line is passed twice between the cables around the benzel hoses. The free end of the line is attached to the roof hoses with bayonets and cut short.

The stopper is performed in the same way as a benzel with a roof, with the only difference that the hoses are encircled around both cables in a figure eight. In cases where, when applying a stopper, the tightly selected cables do not fit together, the stopper is called a flat bezel.

Trellising and flaying

Cables are trenched to level their surface so that water does not accumulate in the recesses between the strands. To do this, the cable in the depressions between the strands is wrapped in friction, which is used as a resinous skimushgar, tench or thin cable.

For tugging, the cable is stretched tightly using hoists and covered tree resin. Friction, the number of which must be equal to the number of strands of the cable, is fixed in the recess between the strands of the cable. In order for the friction to evenly and tightly fill the gaps between the strands, it is tightened (driven) using a drake and a small strap that tightly clasps the cable (Fig. 4, A).

Rice. 4 Cable tugging and lashing
a - tightness of friction;
b - application of castor;
c - overlaying cage

By rotating the line around the cable in the direction of its descent, friction indentation and tension are achieved. Having passed the sling along the entire cable in this way, the friction slack is driven to one end, where the friction is tightened manually and punched into the cable. If the roped cable is not intended to be twisted, the friction is strengthened by applying marks with snakes.

Crimping the cables is done to protect them from chafing. To do this, the roped cable is wrapped in castor (Fig. 4, b), and then the kleten is applied (Fig. 4, V). Catenar is prepared from old canvas, cut into strips, the width of which is slightly less than the circumference of the cable. It is necessary to cut the canvas into ribbons not along the base, but at certain angles, so that the edges of the ribbons do not unravel. The ribbons are then resined and wound into a skein.

The following are used as cage:

• Shkimushgar;
• Thin tench;
• Soft tinned wire and spiral cable.

The cable to be braided is pulled tightly and covered with tree resin. After this, in the direction of the lay, it is wrapped with castor in such a way that each subsequent hose slightly overlaps the previous one. Secure the end of the cage with a temporary mark to the cable in the opposite direction, i.e., against the descent, apply the cage with the help of a half-fly, and on thin cables with the help of a rigging shovel. This ensures that the cage is laid in dense, even layers. The last 5, 6 hoses are surrounded with some slack, and the ship's end of the cage is passed under them, after which the hose is tightened.

Splices are used to splice two cables of the same diameter without a knot. Depending on the method of execution, splashes can be short or long (accelerating). In order to get a short mold (Fig. 5, A), at some distance from the ends, temporary marks are applied to the cables, after which the cables are unraveled into strands, the ends of which are also marked. The prepared cables are moved close to each other so that each strand of one cable is between two adjacent strands of the other.

Rice. 5 Splash
a - short;
b - long,
1 - on a plant cable,
2 - on a steel cable

Cables are spliced ​​by punching, that is, strands of one cable are passed under the strands of another. The strands are punched according to the rule, one under one against the descent of the cable. Thus, when punching, each running strand of one cable must be placed on the nearest root strand of the second cable and passed using a pile under its next strand. The running strands of the second cable are punched in the same way.

The strength of a short braid will be ensured if the strands are punched in each direction 3 times. In this case, to gradually reduce the thickness of the splice, the third punching is made with strands from which half of the heels are cut out.

In the same way, a short spin on a steel cable is obtained. The only difference is that the strands are punched according to the rule “through one under two against the descent of the cable.” The number of punches in this case increases to five, of which the last two are performed with an incomplete number of wires in the strands. When splicing steel cables, the cores are cut out.

Short splice has good strength, but significantly thickens the cable, so it cannot be used on cables that must pass through pulley pulleys.

Splicing cables with a long (accelerating) splice (Fig. 5, b) is not produced by punching strands, but only by twisting them around the cable. Therefore, when making a long braid, the ends of the cables must unravel to a greater length.

The cables prepared for splicing are brought together, as in the manufacture of a short splice. After this, a temporary mark is removed from one of the cables and one of its strands is woven out, and a strand of the second cable is laid in its place. When the inserted strand has a small end left, it is wrapped clockwise around the output strand and tightened with a knot. After this, the running ends are pierced once under the root strand. In the same way, a strand of the first cable is inserted into the second cable. The third pair of strands is spliced ​​directly at the junction of the cables.

Having finished making a long braid, the excess ends of the strands are cut off and marks are applied to the places where the strands are spliced.

When making an accelerating splice on a six-strand steel cable, three strands of another cable are inserted into each of them. Each strand should be inserted at a different length so that the places where they are fastened are evenly distributed along the entire length of the braid. The ends of the opposing strands are fastened with a half-knot, and then punched into the cable and cut off. Soft wire marks are applied at the fastening site.

Long splice is used for splicing running rigging cables, since it gives almost no thickening at the splice point, therefore it is very convenient for cables passing through block pulleys. Its disadvantage is low strength.

Ogons are loops made at the end or in the middle of the cable. They are used for fastening cables to the spar or on quay bollards, as well as for connecting cables using staples.

Fires obtained by weaving ropes are more reliable.

Depending on the purpose and method of sealing, fires are divided into:

• Simple;
• Dutch;
• Cutting and horseshoe-shaped.

To obtain a simple fire (Fig. 6, A) the end of the cable is unraveled into strands, as when making a short braid. After this, the cable is laid in the form of a loop required sizes and each of the free strands is punched into the cable, one under the other, opposite the descent of the cable. A total of three to four punches are made. In this case, the latter is performed in strands with an incomplete number of heels.

Rice. 6 Ogons
a - simple;
b - horseshoe-shaped;
c - Dutch;
g - cutting

When making a Dutch fire, one strand is taken out from the end of the cable, and the rest are laid in the form of a loop. Then the free strand is inserted into its place in the cable towards the other two. The ends of all strands are unraveled into heels, laid along the cable and stamps are applied.

The cutting and horseshoe-shaped fire is made not at the end, but in the middle of the cable. To obtain a split fire, the ends of two cables are unraveled into strands and laid so that the cables slightly overlap each other. After this, the strands of the left cable are punched into the right cable, and the strands of the right cable into the left one. To make a horseshoe-shaped fire, the cable is bent in the right place and strands of a short piece of cable of the same thickness are woven into both of its branches at a certain distance from the bend.

To protect the cables from sharp breaks and chafing, thimbles are often inserted into the ends. Ogon with thimble (Fig. 7, A) are made in the same way as a simple fire, but when performing preparatory operations, the cable is not simply laid in the form of a loop, but placed in a pile of thimble and fastened to it with a line or skimushgar. After finishing the work, the line or skimushgar is removed.

Rice. 7 Methods for securing the ends of cables
a - fire with thimble;
b - staple clamps;
in — end clips

Fires on steel cables can also be made by splicing. There are several ways to punch and secure the cable, but they are all labor-intensive. IN Lately The method of fastening cables using bracket clamps, with which the running end of the cable is pressed to the main one, is becoming increasingly widely used (Fig. 7, b).

Headers with thimbles on steel cables can also be replaced with end clips (Fig. 7, V), to secure which, the end of the cable, loosened into separate wires, is inserted into the hole and the cavity of the cage is filled with high-quality technical or refined zinc, heated to a temperature of 450-470 ° C.

Buttons and musings

It's called a button special unit(thickening) at the end of the plant cable. The same thickening in the middle of the cable is called musing. Buttons secure and hold the root end of the cable and protect its ends from unraveling. Musings serve as supports for arms and legs when climbing a rope. According to their purpose and method of sealing, buttons (Fig. 8) are divided into simple, without punching, locking, turnbuckle, etc.

To make a button, the cable is unraveled into strands to a mark previously applied at some distance from the end of the cable. Then the cable is positioned vertically so that the loose strands hang down freely. The strands are intertwined in such a way that each of them passes from top to bottom through the loop formed by the adjacent strand.

Rice. 8 Buttons
a - cross;
b - half wheel;
c - simple;
g - without punching;
d - turnbuckle;
e - locking

Get a small button called a cross (Fig. 8, A). The cross is also integral part locking button. Another component of the buttons is the half wheel (Fig. 8, b). To obtain it, a strand is wrapped counterclockwise a third of a turn around the cable and passed from bottom to top into a loop formed by an adjacent strand.

Simple button (Fig. 8, V) consists of two half-wheels. To form the second half-wheel, each strand is again passed counterclockwise a third of a turn around the cable and passed from the bottom up into the loop formed by the next strand. After this, the strands are tightened and tied with a stamp over a button.

When making a button without punching (Fig. 8, G) each strand is passed counterclockwise a full turn around the cable and passed from bottom to top into the loop formed by the same strand. Then the strands are tightened and secured over a button with a stamp.

Turnbuckle button (Fig. 8, d) will be obtained if each strand is wrapped around the cable counterclockwise two-thirds of a turn, while overlapping the nearest strand and passing from the bottom up into the loop of the next strand. In addition to this, the strands are pierced, for which each of them is held parallel to its already braided part and pierced under the strands intersecting it.

The first stage in the manufacture of a locking button (Fig. 8, e) - getting a half wheel. Then the strands are tightened and intertwined in the shape of a cross and punched through. To do this, each strand is first drawn parallel to the half-wheel arms and punched from the bottom up into the loop of the adjacent strand, and then parallel to the cross arms.

To make musing (Fig. 9), three strands are inserted into the cable, for which each of them is pierced under one of the strands of the cable and passed under it up to half its length. The strands introduced into the cable are intertwined into a half-wheel of six strands, first in a counterclockwise direction, and then clockwise.

Rice. 9 Musingi
a - without braid;
b - with braid

The final part of the work is punching the strands. In this case, each strand is drawn parallel to itself and punched into the loops of the lower and upper semi-wheels. To increase the size of musings and to give them a more beautiful and comfortable look, they are braided.

6.1. Tools and accessories for rigging work

Rigging work is carried out to repair and maintain in good condition running and standing rigging, towing, mooring and other types of equipment on the upper deck of ships. These works include: repairing cables and connecting them using knots, splicing (splicing) cables, sealing buttons and musings, making fires, etc. Timely and skillful carrying out of rigging work helps to increase the service life of ship equipment. The good condition of the ship's rigging ensures the successful completion of various works on the upper deck and the safety of personnel. The set of rigging tools and accessories includes the following simple devices (Fig. 6.1).

Rice. 6.1. Rigging tools and accessories:
1 - wooden pile; 2 - greasy piles; 3 - fight; 4 - front sight; 5 - mallet; 6 - half-muscle; 7 - rigging blade; 8 - stamp maker; 9 - cable breaking machine; 10 - rigging vice; 11 - reed and flutter

WOODEN AND STEEL PILES. Wooden piles are made in the form of a cone from strong wood (hornbeam, maple, beech, oak) and are used when working with vegetable and synthetic cables for punching and separating cable strands, making splices, fires, buttons and musings. When working with steel cables, metal piles made of carbon steel are used. They are straight and curved, flat and round. When working with thick steel cables, flat piles are used, as they spread the strands of the cable being punched wider apart.

The drawer is made of hardwood and is used for manually tightening (pulling out) lines, cables or wires, when applying benzels and stamps, trenching and other work. In the middle thickened part of the drake there is a bale for the sling.

Mushkel - a wooden hammer used for straightening strands of cable that have become deformed during various works, hammering plant cables during winding, nailing down strands after punching when making spindles, fires, etc. The head of the mushkel is made of hard rocks wood, handle - birch.

K and i and k a - a large rectangular wooden hammer with a long handle. It is used when working with steel cables (like a flywheel) so as not to damage the galvanization of its wires.

Half-muscle - a small wooden hammer with a recess (bale) along the striker, with which the half-musket is applied to the cable. It is used when applying benzels and lashing cables.

P a g e a shovel - wooden or steel. It is used respectively for working with plant or steel cables when applying marks, benzels and rope braiding.

Stamp maker - a wooden tool for applying benzels and stamps.

The cable breaking machine is used to bring two cables together closely when making benzels and sealing fires. The machine consists of guide rods, movable blocks and a clamping screw.

Rigging vises are used for the manufacture of fires with thimbles, sharpening blocks, braiding cables, etc. The vises have three sliding blocks that move along the guides and allow you to work with cables of any diameter .

B e r d a i t r e p a l o. Berda is a wooden quadrangular frame with a skimushgar or thin wooden planks stretched between the upper and lower planks, each of which has a point. Trepal - a board up to 2 m long with one pointed edge. Reeds and ruffles are used to make woven mats.

In addition to the listed tools, when carrying out rigging work, it is necessary to have axes, handbrake, sledgehammers, chisels, wire cutters, boatswain's knives, as well as a supply of pins, canvas and tree resin.

Pile and rigging wrench

The first folding models were quite bulky - when folded, the length reached 100 mm. The shape of the blade is straight. However, this design was justified for the main function of the knife - cutting cable. If the end was to be cut out of the bay, then two marks were applied in the place where it was planned to make the cut, and the cable was cut between them. If the cable was thick enough, then they literally chopped it: they placed a knife blade on it and struck its butt with a muskel - a wooden mallet. The sailing fleet was rapidly becoming a thing of the past, and yachting flourished and evolved into entertainment for wealthy gentlemen. Therefore, over time, the knife became more miniature and compact.

Often it was supplemented with another folding object - a pile for punching strands of cable and other rigging work. Early models had a pile attached in the manner of a modern awl and corkscrew - in the middle part of the handle. However, knives with the end arrangement of this tool have become much more widespread. At one end of the pile there was also a swivel: a safety line was attached to it so as not to “lose” the knife overboard during waves. Such knives were established in the navy by the middle of the 19th century. If the pile did not have a lock, then the model was called a “yachtsman’s knife”, and if it was locked with a spring in the open position, then the model was considered professional - “rigging”.

With the help of a pile, the strands of the cable are moved apart, and the knots are untied. In addition to the folding piles of multi-item sea knives, piles are also made as a separate tool - from wood and steel. A wooden pile made of ash or oak is used to work with plant cables. The steel pile has a pointed end with an oval cross-section, which makes it easier to work with the steel cable. Inserted between the strands and turned on edge, it makes it easier to break through the running strands. Piles sometimes have a hole at their thick end. A sling is threaded through it, which, when working on a mast or with a thick cable, when you have to forcefully pull the pile out from under the strand, is put on your hand. Depending on the thickness of the cable, the size of the pile also changes: the thicker the cable, the larger it is. Some steel cable piles have a groove at the end for the passage of a strand of cable when making splashes and fires.

Less commonly, the folding knife had a special folding key for the rigging brackets. Like piles, it can also be performed as a separate tool. The blocks and main ends of the gear are most often attached to the butts screwed to the deck using rigging shackles. The staples are made of galvanized iron or bronze, the ends of which are connected by a threaded bolt or a smooth pin. Staples are important detail, used on sailing ships in a wide variety of options and sizes. You can attach the tackle to a spar or sail without a rigging shackle - using a sea knot. But it is preferable to do this with a staple.

When performing rigging work, use the following special tool ( rice. 58).

Pile- main rigging tool; using a pile, the strands of the cable are moved apart, and the knots are untied. Piles can be made of wood or steel. A wooden pile is used to work with plant cables. It is made from ash or oak and is a cone-shaped pointed rod. The steel pile has a pointed end with an oval cross-section, which makes it easier to work with the steel cable. Inserted between the strands and turned on edge, it makes it easier to break through the running strands. The piles have a hole at their thick end. A sling is threaded through it, which, when working on a mast or with a thick cable, when you have to forcefully pull the pile out from under the strand, is put on your hand.

Depending on the thickness of the cable, the size of the pile also changes: the thicker the cable, the larger it is. Some steel cable piles have a groove at the end for the passage of a strand of cable when making splashes and fires. For working with thin steel cables, piles made from cut-off material are convenient. acute angle steel tube mounted in a wooden handle.

Chisel and hammer- used for cutting steel cable or its strands.

Heaver- a spindle-shaped rod made of oak or ash with a bale for slings. It is used for tightening (polishing) benzels, nettles, etc.

Mushkel- wooden hammer cylindrical with a long handle. Serves for hammering together a cable after making splashes and fires.

Half muskel- differs from the front sight in having a short handle and a kip on the working part. Used for flaking.

Knife used mainly for cutting plant cables and steel cores. It should only be foldable. This indispensable tool for the yachtsman, especially in emergency situations.

Gardaman or plane tree- a sail thimble with a lead plate for pushing the needle when sewing or repairing sails. Place it on the palm of the right hand.

Sailing needles Unlike ordinary sewing ones, they have a pointed triangular shape.

Pliers, pliers They are not directly related to rigging tools, but they are useful when working with steel cable.

Nodes

Knots are used for temporary tying of plant cables, fastening moorings or tugs and other ship operations when it is necessary to deal with cables. Characteristics maritime knots - reliability, relative ease of knitting, the ability of many of them not to tighten under load and to easily come apart even when wet.

In maritime affairs, each node has a very specific purpose. Therefore, a yachtsman must not only be able to tie this or that knot (even in the dark), but also firmly know in what case to use it and how to quickly distribute it.

All nodes can be divided into three main groups. The first group includes knots for tying two ends together; the second combines units used for mooring and towing; the third is special-purpose units (for lifting a person onto a mast, etc.). The following knots are used to tie the two ends together ( rice. 59).

Straight knot designed for tying ropes or gear of approximately the same thickness with low traction. The knot is considered correct when the ends of each cable run parallel and together, and the root ends are directed directly opposite to each other.

Reef node used when tying reef stems. Knitted like a straight knot, but with a loop, which is formed by the running end, put into reverse side. It is distributed easily and quickly.

Clew knot used when tying cables of the same thickness, one of which has a point. It is knitted like a straight knot, but the running end does not go back into the point, but is passed under the root end and clamped with it.

Windlass knot it is used in the same cases as the clew, but it is more reliable and is distinguished by double coverage of the point: the running end is passed under the main end twice.

Flat knot used to connect two cables of different thicknesses. After the knot is tied, benzels are placed on the running ends of both cables, otherwise it will tighten.

For mooring by piles, bollards and eyes, as well as for towing, the following units are used ( rice. 60).

Bayonet- the simplest knot used when attaching mooring lines. The running end of the cable should be grabbed onto the main pile.

Bayonet with two slaps used for the same purposes, but when more reliable fastening is needed. It differs from a bayonet in that the running end is surrounded or pulled into the eye twice, thus forming two hoses.

Fisherman's bayonet tied behind the anchor brackets. It is similar to a bayonet with two spears, but the second guard is captured by the first half-bayonet.

Fisherman's fire- a unit that replaces a regular fire.

Towing unit serves for attaching a tow rope on a towed yacht to the biting or mast. Despite its simplicity, it is very reliable and responds quickly even on the move. The running end of the tug is wrapped around the mast, covers the main end with a hose and is wrapped around the mast again in the same direction. Then, wrapping the running end around the main one several times, they grab it to the main one.
