I spent a long time studying the anatomy of this ship and other books on rigging...

...and created my own manual and drawings for constructing masts and all rigging (including sails). I did this for myself, relying on various sources, as the anatomy is full of errors, typos, and inaccuracies... and even more omissions! I will write about all of this in future posts, justifying all the corrections and proposed implementations of various components. You can download all of the material from this link on Google Drive. Rigging Alert 1777 by Serikoff.

But I repeat! The drawings and diagrams are a work in progress and are not a finished product. By the time of publication, I had already made many revisions. Therefore, all the completed drawings and diagrams will be available only at the end of construction!

Here is an example of what the first two sketches look like, which are done at a scale of 1:48! A0 format (841 x 1189 mm).

 

Below are diagrams of the rigging and sails. I've also recalculated all the rope and cable diameters at 1:48 scale. When I work on the rigging on the model, I'll check and make any changes to this guide. Ultimately, I hope to create the most comprehensive guide to rigging English cutters of the period (at least, that's what I hope).
