I'm working on my 3D model of HMS Halifax (1768) and, after referring to various resources here and elsewhere, thought I'd figured out the braces for the topsail yards until I actually modelled them and realised the the fore and main braces were crossing right through each other. Is this a problem? I've highlighted the lines to make them easier to see:
Here I've zoomed in on the starboard braces so you can see how the lines are threaded through each other. I didn't plan it this way, that's just how they turned out after attaching all the end points. Do I need to reposition/untangle these lines, switch to a different rigging method for one (or both) of the yards, or is this a plausible setup?
