I didn't think it was possible not to understand what ropes to use in Oseberg rigging. But since it has become a question for you, I'll give you a hint. Page 63 all ropes are 1mm brown. Page 64-65 all ropes are 0.8 mm beige. Page 66-67 ropes 0.6 mm. beige and ropes 0.45 mm. beige. The 0.45 ropes are used to operate the polyspace blocks which lie in cell 9,12.

The shape of the flagship begins to emerge!
The forecastle frame is now installed — the bow section of the Santa Maria is taking on its characteristic form.
As on real 15th-century carracks, the forecastle served both as protection and as a working platform for sails and lookout duties.
