I am also building this schooner, this is my first wooden model ship, I am not following the plans too well, I would like to know the lenght of the Main, Fore, and the top masts, also the scale of the trestle tree (the plan shown 1:1 ?)

First of all, welcome to our forum. Now, as to your question, a couple of tips are in order, the first of which is to post your question in the correct topic category, so that your question will get more traction; I have taken care of this for you. Second tip: no one can answer your question unless they first know some details about your model, namely what vessel is it and what is your source for spar dimensions? With those details in hand, someone will most likely be able to answer your question.

 

Cheers!

If you are asking for the MODEL's length of the masts what scale are you using?    The plans are usually to some scale such as 1:48, 1:64 or some other, but not 1:1.  As Chris asks, please let us know which vessel you are building, and maybe post a picture of the plans of the trestle tree that you mention.

Welcome aboard!!

Welcome aboard!  Which schooner are you building and what scale are the plans?
