georgeband's post in Bermuda sloop bowsprit was marked as the answer
George,
I have scanned the relevant page from Marquardt and here is a crop which shows three alternatives for holding the bowsprit to the hull. The author gives precious little guidance about which was used when or where and I did not see anything which suggests that the choice of method depends on the length of the bowsprit.
The other illustrations on the same page show variations for bobstays and shrouds.
This is the key to the pictures (which I cannot make smaller here...)
I hope that some of this helps.
George
