Hi there
Since the kit instructions were pretty poor I improvised and followed the rigging instructions within this book. I cannot recommend it highly enough, large pictures for each piece of rigging which is easy to follow.

Just beautiful I love the attention to détails!
A Quick question: why did you choose to redo all yards and Masts?

I chose to do the masts and yards in wood as the plastic was far too weak to stand up to the rigging.
