I'm looking at zu Monfelds "Historic ship Models" page 272 "The figures refer to the thickness of the mainstay, 0.166% of the diameter of the mainmast at the deck".
I'm not sure of the .166%. Should that be just .166 rather than .166%. .166 % is pretty small. I've heard that there are a few typos in this book and I'm wondering if this is one.
