Vasa by Snoepert - FINISHED - De Agostini

[Snoepert]

It’s been a month since I have been able to do some more work.

I am getting into the next interesting stage of rigging.

can anyone advise where I might get plans for the full rigging for the Vasa

Hi Snoepert nice to see you back on the Vasa . The rigging plan is totally wrong that Deag supplied . They show blocks for the hallards when they should be pulleys. I was in the same boat but luckily Michael aka mid1400s came to my rescue by sending me plans from Billings kit and Corel plus I also looked at how Dutch ships were rigged for that period. You could also email Fred Hocker at the Vasa museum in Stockholm.

Hope this helps

Thank you Martyn,

I thought maybe I could follow  the rigging plans I have for the SOS which is quite detailed.

i will look into Michaels posts to get more info up front.

I was hoping that the Vasa II book which has the full rigging plan was going to come out but it looks like it will be next year before it appears. The rigg for the tops is going to be best guess as none of the masts and rigging survived so the museum is going with what has been recovered in the way of blocks etc to reconstruct the upper riggs. Using the SotS as reference and other ships of that period is probably the way to go. One thing I have found out is the Vasa didn't have pinrails fitted to the gunwales the belay pins were fitted on the rails so on my build I removed mine and drilled the rails a bit of a faf but looks better.

My Ratline did not come out to well so I have decided to do it as the instructions by de Agustina manual.
