Lateen sail rigging

[jlgully1]

About to start Amati Xebec. Despite plans and very brief instruction, totally confused on rigging-terms, what does what, etc. Any sources or info would be appreciated

When I built my Le Requin Xebec, I used the Ancre book which has great close up pictures of the rigging.

Thank you Brian and Jimsky. Any idea where i can get the Ancre book used at less than the exorbitant prices on Abe Books? Jordan

Not much cheaper, but the publisher, Ancre, also has the Le Requin monograph. Unfortunately, these are just pricey books.
