Beautiful work, Mario! The planking came out very well, and the finish really "pops"! -
Sam - I am not sure if there was a specific formula used to determine the number of shrouds or whether it was based on common practice. A good place to do some digging would be Steel's 1794 The Elements and Practice of Rigging And Seamanship. The table below (from page 102 of the book) shows the number of shrouds for the foremast on a ship of 24 guns as 7 pairs. Now, for comparison, a 16 gun ship had 6 pairs as you can see in the table below from page 122 I will try and do some digging in Lees and some of the primary documents and see if there is any formula provided. Also note that this relates to a specific timeframe (published in 1794, so common practice from about 1750 - publication) and nation (Great Britain). Other times and nations may have had different practices they used. http://www.hnsa.org/doc/steel/

Cool- shame it got BRACed! The admiral is a native, and I lived there (Bangor area) for about 15 years until we left in '98 for a job. It's taken us 15 years to get home - the advantage of working from a home office!

Sounds like a great vacation for you - enjoy! 32 days from now we hit the road for the new start in Maine. One frame to mount on the ECB then pack the shipyard for a month or so. Going to have to model build vicariously until we get settled!

Fantastic work, Sherry. Could you send my silk worms back if you are done weaving?
