The drawing of my Mantua schooner (about 80 feet) kit includes a diagram relating to mainsail sheet rigging.

I wish to have your opinion about this design and some clarifications about blocks to select.

 

I thank you for the advices

I practice sailing  since a long time and I presume that the presence of two opposite sheets tied on the boom is not practical to use. When one of them lengthens, the other shortens. I think that mechanical system works better with simple kinematic.

 

This is the reason why I share my doubts with you.

I wouldn't rig it this way!  Single sheet, attached (with a tackle to a "horse") somewhere near the stern.  There are many examples of model plans and even museum models obviously made by someone who's never sailed or read much about it.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
