I see that you have found diagrams for the halyard uphaul and down hauls so at least some of your quest is in hand. The next step will be where the falls lead and terminate. If you don't find a book or reference you may have to use your own thinking coordinated with the other falls and pin rails. Not much help from me but I am sure that other SoS crew will be more precise.
Thanks for the info. I never saw this post for some reason. Appreciate it, Kurt!
Good example of an unknown knowable. . . my challenge is unknown unknowns which may become evident in the future. This type of resource linking is a major benefit of SoS. Rich
In adding to the library collection previously posted you may also consider, if you don't have them, The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625 - 1860 by James Lee, and The Art of Ship Modeling, by Bernard Frolich, also The Young Sea Officer's Sheet
or a key to the leading of rigging and to practical seamanship, by Darcy Lever, somewhat more focused is The Global Schooner, origins, development, design and construction 1695-1845, by Karl Heinz Marquardt. and lastly both historical development with a large number of scantlings for schooners across the years included and very detailed drawings of the rigging components is The American Fishing Schooners 1825-1935, by Howard I. Chapelle. We never know where we may be able to find what we are looking for so the more resources available the better. . . as long as we don't bankrupt the venture. Rich (PT-2)
Possibly but over time they have proven to be jackpots. Rich
I have not. What is the title to Google it up?
I would definitely use it for the Black Pearl and the Soleil!
That's what I ended up doing, just in a rudimentary way. This is an older thread. I've learned a lot since then. I'm still learning.
Any time, my friend.
