  1. hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That's a very nice looking steam launch you're building there! John
  2. Ah, well, if it's the Amerigo Vespucci, Underhill would be a much better option, and you can still pick up a fairly cheap second hand copy! John John
  3. Linda, if you're serious about learning about the rigging of 'period' ships, you might perhaps start with a copy of "The young Sea officers Sheet Anchor' by Darcy Lever. This book was first published in the first half of the 19th century by a professional seaman and has copious illustrations with good descriptions. You should be able to pick up a good second hand copy of one of the many reprints for $30 or less (for a first edition you'll need to take out a second mortgage). John
