Mast diameters

[Skip Garr]

Where the foremast and mainmast the same diameter in 19th century ships? Occre's plan for the San Felipe show them both to be 10 mm.

What size does 10mm translate to on the full size vessel?

The kit he has is 1/86. So 10 mm would equate to am 860mm mast, or about 33 7/8 inches if you prefer imperial.

I have no idea about Spanish ships, but they were different sizes on English ships. I think the San Felipe from OcCre is a model of the one launched in the 18th century (1716) so it may be different than 19th century ships.
