That is a real good book. Togheter with John harland Seamanship in the Age of Sail you will have a lot of information about rigging. At Bol.com there is also a copy of RC Anderson rigging in spritsail days, just for a few euro's. Whit These books you can almost find anything you have to know about the 17th and 18th century rigging.
"Seamanship in the Age of Sail" is already on my wish list.
For 17th century ship rigging, RC Anderson is a REQUIREMENT.
Ok. Added it to my wish list!
Realy a very good and informative book - you made a good decision to buy a copy for your library
The book "The Arming and Fitting of the Sailing Man of War 1650 - 1850" I ordered was delivered the day before yesterday. It was highly recommended and justly so. Full of details and elaborate explanation of the development over the years.
I can also highly recommend this book - One of the "must have" in my library
Hallo @Winston
you can find these books also in Book Reviews here in SOS - many thanks for sharing these videos
One of my daughters gave me Gardiner as well!

I just realised that we all seem to have great daughters and wives, I got Le Rochefort and Le Gros from my daughters. The Sloop of War I got from my wife as well as the 1:36 plans of Le Gros.There comes a time, as we age, when we don’t want or need knick-knacks as gifts anymore. (Hmmm, except when the grandkids give you something they made or give you something that is special to them
This Christmas my wife gave me these Ancre monographs and an accompanying book. Wonderful gift because, to me, it’s not necessarily about building the model but about enjoying the history, archeology and methods of construction of those wonderful old ships. I often spend as much time time enjoying the books and monographs as I do building models.

We have also a Book Review of the Granado anatomy by Peter Goodwin - a very good help and absolutely recommened when you build the CAF kit model
