    Belaying Positions

    Since I visited the Marinmuseum in Karlskrona in summer 2008, I have the luck to have a copy of an original belaying scheme, and about 100 copies of old photos of the ship under sail. Yet, I found some "errors" in it, and I made a new scheme that I believe to be more correct:

    Marinmuseum´s version [Swedish]
