I would be interested in knowing the geometric relationships that regulated the position and height of the masts, in particular on three-masted sailing ships
Tks Eugenio

Mi interesserebbe conoscere i rapporti geometrici che regolavano la posizione e l'altezza degli alberi, in particolare sui velieri a tre alberi
 
I might help to know which country, what purpose and the period in history, as things changes a lot based on time and country at least.

You're right...my question was too vague.
I am referring to the years around 1800, the nations the USA .. Russia .. In particular I am referring to the Frigates

Hai ragione.. la mia domanda era troppo vaga.
Mi riferisco agli anni attorno al 1800, le nationi gli USA .. Russia .. In particolare mi riferisco alle Fregate
 
Maybe not directly answering your question, but as the relationship is unlikely to have changed much, I recommend reading "The rigging of ships in the days of the spritsail topmast, 1600-1720" by R. C. Anderson
