Default Re: rigging your cannons
Don --

"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. "

this method is pretty much the normal configuration -- I have seen others , but with the small scale the location above seems best to me .As far as a rule of thumb - I just eye them up .
Breeching rope eye bolts above and inside the gun tackel eye bolts .

cheers
