Can anyone give me any definitive advice, lists or illustrations for the standing rigging on this model. There seems to be many discrepancies between the main GA drawing and the detailed drawings for the masts and yards. This is my first model ship and I dont want to admit that I have bitten off more than I can chew. Iam cuurently about to step the masts after having installed the yards and sails on them. My biggest question is with backstays. The main GA drawing shows backstays being tied off to smaller dead eyes on the channels, but with no identifying marks against them. The details for assembling the masts and yards and associated standing rigging have no mention of backstays for the masts. Help required please.
