Santa Maria detailed rigging plans needed

[Richard Moise]

I am attempting to locate a detailed set of rigging plans for the Santa Maria to purchase, borrow,etc. in order to restore a wooden model my grandfather built about 80-100 years ago.  Ship is in generally very good condition , however, rigging barely remains.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.   Thank you.

A number of kit manufacturers (e.g., Dusek, Mamoli, Artesania Latina, Amati) produce kits of Santa Maria.  If you search the internet for those kits, you will likely find retailers or other sellers who offer the plan sets separately.

The Anatomy of the Ship series book The Ships of Christopher Columbus by Xavier Pastor has a fairly comprehensive rigging plan for Santa Maria, although any plan from this period has got to be speculative.  It would probably be worth it to use more than one source.

The new Artesania Latina has made available to modelers the instructions for some of its old discontinued boats, among them is the Santa Maria, you can download plans and instructions at this link:
