In this context, there was still a need for clarification regarding the routing of the fore topsail braces, since, according to the monograph, their standing parts should also be attached to the mainstay, where the fore braces are also attached.

I can't see all those downward pulling braces (#s 15, 16, 26, 27), they would be impractical in practice.  Because the yard moves up and down on the mast, you'd have to cast off the braces to be able to set the sail.  The model and Harland show it where, at most, you have to ease the braces.

Hello,
I will not follow the monograph regarding the braces, but will instead follow the original Paris model.

What an incredible job you are doing, Johann! Your model should be taken as an example for all those who want to equip their own!

Absolute perfection!!!

Hello,

I would like to thank you very much for your interest and contributions.
And of course, many thanks to everyone else for the likes.

 

Hello colleagues,

I've tried to summarize the information I gathered some time ago about the brace routing for my French corvette in a diagram for further rigging work.
If you're interested, please zoom in!
I hope you'll forgive me for only labeling it in German.
But the pictures will explain it to some extent.

That is very explicit, Johann, I like your color coding for the different lines. A nice way to sort all that rigging out. I speak, read and write German very well but, I must say, those words on the images were completely new to me!

There's German, and then there's nautical German. And then there is the nautical German translation of the nautical French...or vice versa...

Use Paasch‘s ‚From Keel to Truck‘ and forget about GoogleTranslator …

Hello,

Since I can't be held responsible for my dear colleagues getting headaches ...😁... , I've tried to translate the terms.
I hope it's more understandable now.👍

Wefalck, that book is exactly the reference I have been looking for! Should be immensely useful when looking at Boudriot's books.
