Default Same place they put the heelropes

Hi there,
That's what orlop decks are for. I'm sure if you took apart one of those models, you'd find an orlop, sometimes called a cable tier, though that was sometimes a separate place. Lots of rope there, including spares, anchor lines, topmast heelropes, and places to hide a distillery.
Nice question!
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
