Hmm, I took your 33m yard dimension on face value, but even so, close to 10m sounds still impressive to me..(422 - 150) / 2 x 72 / 1000 = 9,792 m outboard each side
Simulation about fore and main masts :

Hallo @CRI-CRII have now the new project of modelling a simplified version of the Saint-Philippe, a french at time of Louis XIVth, a three decked eighty guns war ship, but I have first to read all the documentation (weight = 4 kg... )
At scale 1/48, it's a 1.20 m length "baby"
and "only" 92 cm at reduced scale 1/72 :
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Enjoy your special day
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday. Hope you had a fabulous time. Cheers Grant
Still awaiting delivery, I am making out some tests of the right lengths on my own wooden stock :
