About this work
Round bowsprit with jib boom. The bowsprit has eight cheeks, clamped with hoops against the cap. At approximately two-thirds of the length, two clamps are attached on both sides, which hold the shrouds and the jib boom in place. At the end of the bowsprit there is a violin piece with a disc on each side underneath. The shield has brackets for the sprit and the sprit stay; on the rear, eyes for the running shrouds and other shrouds and a block are attached. The jib boom has four discs at the end and one for shooting at the foot.
