for the stunsails,, correct? always forward
Seems to be, that It depends - pending on the rigging of the vessel, f.e. if the studding sails are fore or aft the main sails - I found in my short research different information
here aft
here fore
also interesting:
FOREWARD
I am looking for some better Pics, but I have too many - not about 1000 as mentioned a few days ago, but more than 2000 -there may be some doubles -of which I am struggling with.
On the other hand, I am not a good friend of studding-sails- maybe the reason I do not have many more Pic- but Uwek is right as usual.
I Will have to have a look into my "Manual Arquitectura Naval" more than 500 pages in A 4 format- but only in Spanish

Hi Jimmy,
That will be forward!!!
Also there are no gammoning cleats on the centre aft of the yard - only forward.
The drawing from El Capi also shows how to make the yards octagonal section. My kit said I should 'file' the dowel octagonal. It didn't work and looked terrible.

Careful scrutiny of my plans and most people on here made it clear I should edit my post.

Generally forward.
Sometimes, the Dutch would have them aft.
In more modern times, some ships had/have them below the yard.
Lovely ships, El Capi.
I used to sail some tall ships as a youngster. I was very briefly on TS Royalist and Sir Winston Churchill.
Later, I served as chief mate on the "Royal Clipper", that is of course, mechanised to a point where the old practices do not fully apply anymore. Sailing theory remains the same though.
Most of what I understand in the mechanics of old rigs comes from trials we are currently making on "La Licorne", a 1/4 scale replica of a XVII century ship of the line that represents the ones that Colbert had built to entertain Louis XIV in Versailles.
That is how I figured out the efforts issues of keeping the jeers under tension.
