The rigging plans aren't in the book.  I'd send the Lumberyard and e-mail and ask them.  Not all plan sheets are on the website.

There's a basic rigging plan in Grimwood's American Ship Models, facing page 113.   The author suggests "The dimensions of the Oliver Cromwell's spars can be scaled from the rigging plan."  Lee's The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War 1625-1860 or Marquardt's Eighteen Century Rigs and Rigging would probably reasonable guides to details of the spars and rigging details.
