majer1898 Posted September 30, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 30, 2016 Hi, I am building the HMS Julia which was constructed in Ipswich in 1806 (wrecked in 1817). (My daughter is named Julia) I obtained the plans from the British admiralty years ago but it lacks a sail and rigging plan. It is a royal navy, 16 gun brig sloop of the seagull class. It was 284 tons, 93 feet, 26 foot beam. I would like to come as close as possible to what the rigging should be- any ideas? Thanks aviaamator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted October 13, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 13, 2016 I see this question has been floating around a while. A similar class would be the Cruizer class. The rigging and sail details are given in Petrejus' book 'Irene', if you can get a copy on the used book market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelpsutton2 Posted October 13, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 13, 2016 The dimesions of the seagull class are smaller than the Cruizers. I would use steels book and calculate grsjax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted October 15, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 15, 2016 Or proportionally re-size the spars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
