cerberusjf got a reaction from mtaylor in Large carrack anchor handling
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how anchors were handled on a large carrack, like the "Mary Rose"? I saw some drawings of both a windlass and a capstan in the AOTS book of the ship, but no mention of either in the "Your noblest shippe anatomy of the Tudor warship".. I asked at the museum at Portsmouth, but they said neither had been recovered. Santa Maria had a capstan under the foc'sl according to reconstructions, but what about larger, later carracks?
Thanks
John

Hi all,
Here is some photo of first redesigned frameworks-Roter Lowe, HMS Prince and Gretel-these new designs include solid wood keel, precut gunports and etc.. I hope building of these kits will be more easy now.
Best regards
Daniel Dusek

cerberusjf got a reaction from mtaylor in French rigging practice in the days of spritsail topsail
I found it difficult to find the name of it in English, I just went with a translation I found on page 52 of this magazine, which translates "croissant de beaupre" as "bowsprit saddle". I also saw it referred to as a "saddle". Maybe I should have used the "croissant de beaupre" from the beginning in hindsight.

cerberusjf got a reaction from mtaylor in Vincenzo Lusci's book and plans for Spanish Galleon of 1607.
All his plans are available here. They don't take credit cards unfortunately, only money transfers. I have no connection with them, I haven't bought form them, so cannot comment on their service.

Okay, I assumed it wa only the first 40 volumes available on cd. The p+p to the UK is more than half the cost of the cd, I think that's too much. I think I'll wait until the articles are available to download. At least it's not as much as the quote for p+p for a USS constitution cd, which was $80.

Thanks very much for the lead, Duff! I tried searching for anything by Snyder on the journal search engine but nothing showed up :S . I'm not sure about the saddle, probably because Heller supplied it

Hi, yes in hindsight I did overstate it when I said Anderson based his description on this mode, but it is the most referenced source and often the only one for French practice. I quickly scanned through the book last night to find what Anderson found questionable on the "Royal Louis"/"Louis XV" model, or at least unusual or atypcal, and got the following:-
Bobstay p90
Double-ended attachment of the mainstay p101
Hoisting tackle multi sheaved blocks rather than fiddle blocks p108
Leading block for the forestay near the gratings, a better positon would be e.g. on the bulwarks to save lee forestay fouling the main staysail. P151
Foretacks passing through holes in the head is questionable, certainly not common p 161
Fixed sprit yard p213
I was wondering if there were more questionable details on this model?
Thanks,
John.

cerberusjf reacted to G. Delacroix in French rigging practice in the days of spritsail topsail
Hello,
This rigging accessory is present in one of my monographs, L'Aurore of 1766.
This is a rare example because, as I said, this element is rarely figured on the time models.

Hello,
These two elements are called "croissant de beaupré" (bowsprit saddle ?) and "ratelier de beaupré" (bowsprit rack-blocks ?).
They have been used in France in the late seventeenth century to the early nineteenth century, ie in the great classical period of sailing ships.
The "croissant de beaupré" is relatively rare but the "ratelier de beaupré" is much more common.
Regards,
GD

Thanks very much GD, in that case I feel I can omit this detail. I was just concerned in case it was one of the details on the "Louis XV" that was an error or anachronistic.
