  1. T very helpful is book >Young sea officer sheet anchor,where you can find plenty basic informationabout rig and rigging.
    It is for free too, you can download from>Interhet archive >> https://archive.org/details/youngseaofficers00leve/mode/2up

     

    The Elements and Practice of Rigging And Seamanship, 1794, by David Steel, is a comprehensive English textbook of rigging, seamanship and naval tactics. A key reference for those interested in the age of Nelson. Although at times difficult because of its fine detail, it will reward those that search through it to understand the technology of the era.


    It s available online for free > https://maritime.org/doc/steel/ <
