Lees book covers 235 years and things definitely changed over that time so much more useful for many folks. Steel has a lot of great information for a short time span only around 1794, but a nice thing about The Elements and Practice of Rigging and Seamanship is that it is free.
Excellent Allan, just excellent !! I know what to read during our long winter evenings.
from the Russian forum about boats for seventy gunners.To all
Does anyone knows how / where I can find lines plans for the construction of the ship boats ? pinnace, cutter, launch ..
Many thanks
William
a member of the iutar forum recommended this book to me, I'm using it as a mast, and I'm trying to make rigging.Hi Allan,
My main source of documentation is James Lee's book.. "masting and rigging...." and I compare the informations with the drawing below.
I also have de masting plan from Cadlercraft.
I compile all the information collected and choose what seems most rational to me. For some missing details I find in "The
Anatomy of Nelson's Ship"
For the ropes size, I found an Excel file from Radimir Beseda that seems well done.
Hopefully I'm on the right way ... Don't hesitate to help me if that's not the case

thank you Winter,
What country? If England there are dozens of drawings on the RMG Collections site as well as on the Wiki Commons site. There are scantling for every part in Scantlings of Royal Navy Ships pages 256-259 for a variety of types and sizes of ships' boats which are from Steel's The Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture .
