I’m building the OcCre Cala Esmeralda and have been trying to research this ship. It was supposedly built in Majorca between 1916 and 1919. “With an American style in terms of her figure and a most elegant line of sail.” I have been unsuccessful in finding any factual evidence that this ship ever existed.
I’m starting the standing rigging but the OcCre rigging plan is really not clear on how the top masts back stays are installed. It sort of looks like they are attached to the deck near the rails after passing through the top mast cross tree. I have not been able to find any reference to this type of rigging. I’ve checked both Biddlecomb’s and Petersson’s rigging books.
After all that explanation, has anyone build this model and have any information or insight?
