  1. Folks, pitching in on this discussion almost 4 years late. The model shipways constitution plans show studding sails at the fore lower (course) position but not at the main. This is consistent with the discussion that main studding sails would have blocked the wind needed to fill the fore lower studding sails on a downwind run. Unfortunately, the plans do not give dimensions for the fore lower studding boom (attached to the fore lower yard). I'm trying to scale those dimensions now for my model
  2. The plans are a bit confusing and are in slight contradiction to Bob Hunt's practicum. It looks like there were no main lower (course) studding sails, only fore lower studding sails. But there are no measurements in the table on page 6 of the plans for the fore studding sail booms that attach to the fore lower yard. Anyone have any data for this?
