Hello Allen. Just ran across your post here and thought I'd write a note. How did you make out getting the plans for this ship? I am currently building the same model and trying to figure out what size lines to use where. Were you able to find out the correct sizes of ropes and chains and how did you convert the sizes to the appropriate size for the scale your working in? I found that the foremast had several different sizes of ropes, some standing and some running rigging. Standing sizes ran from 4" to 11" but I've not found anywhere that shows ropes that big. I'm kind a stumped for the moment. Pete
PS; I am using the book by William Crothers that shows the sizes of ropes for clipper ships built in the USA. The Cutty Sark was built in England I think and used a somewhat different rigging scheme. New England ships were rigged a bit different.
