Pat, I suspect that your lithographs may have let you down on this occasion. As Wefelck says, brails could only be used on a loose footed sail and they were not required at all on a hoisting gaff, as the sail was furled by lowering the gaff, not by brailing up the sail. The mention in the warrant of 'peak' and 'throat' brails also sounds unusual; it sounds more like they're talking about the halliards! There obviously must have been sheets to control the spanker - are they perhaps listed under the boom rather than the sail for some reason? The trysail wouldn't need a gaff, but it would be unusual for the storm sail to be rigged differently to the regular sails at that would entail a lot of extra rigging and unrigging when the sails were changed. I'll be happy when you finish this model and go on to something a little less mysterious! 😀 John

Plenty of space to work there, Håkan! Looks like you've got a nice supply of timber over there on the far right. John
