rigging your cannons
I searched through the forum and found a few threads on rigging your cannons but what I was looking for wasn't covered in the search and I am not sure how to word my question so here goes.
If the gun carriage is line up in the gun port where on either side of the gun port do you place the eye bolts for the breeching rope and other rigging. In photos I have seen the carriage rigging appears to be located on the waterways in such a manner as to form a certain angle when viewed from above and breeching line is located midway up the bulwark and maybe half the distance closer to the gun port.
Is this something that you do by "eye" or are there some rules of "thumb" that you go by?
