The set contains all deadeyes required for the standing rigging:

Triangular deadeyes are an iconic and specific feature of the Swedish ship Vasa's rigging. This HiSModel set replaces the standard round deadeyes commonly provided in kit boxes. Our deadeyes are manufactured using precision 3D printing, which allows for high detail and sharp edges that are not achievable in standard commercial kits.

Shapes and dimensions strictly follow historical research from the Vasa Museum (Vasa Museet) in Stockholm and the publication Vasa II: Rigging and sailing a Swedish warship of 1628.
