Sugestions for sail plan on Enterprise 1799?


src

Recommended Posts

I am looking for some guidance/advise for a possible sail plan for my Enterprise build. I am finally, after 10+ years, getting to the point I can think about sails.

What would some likely sail usages be for a moderate wind no more than say 45º off either side of the stern? Am I making sense? I dont want to put all the sails up, most will be furled, I amt hinking two or three.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sam

I'm not sure this is what you're thinking but a lot of modelers who do the sails, braille the lower sails up such to show the deck area.   I'm not a sailor so I have no idea on what sails would be used under the conditions you gave.

Try googling images for Pride of Baltimore II. She has a similar rig, and there's tons of photos of her online. Look for ones that show the particular sailing attitude you wish to capture.
