If this is only for masting and rigging, the title Steel's Dimensions of a Ship of each Class in the British Navy may be confusing. Are these just for the masting and rigging found in Steel's Elements and Practice of Rigging and Seamanship or does it also include the scantlings in Steel's Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture? If the former maybe he should change the title to Steel's Dimensions of Masting and Rigging of each Class in the British Navy. Thanks again.

Alas, it was not accepted by the system. I hope iot is not due me to being not located in the US but abroad. I am definitely not worried for the 2 USD (take it as a donation) but I hope that it will work on future purchases from this site. best regards cotrecerf mtaylor and hollowneck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpayed Posted August 8, 2023 Share #7 Posted August 8, 2023 Hi Guys. I just purchased this. Well done great work Yuri. Page 88 Fore and Main number of shrouds should be 6 pairs I think. (Not 7) See attached extracts. Whilst reconstructing Investigator I have found errors in Steel's work. For example the proportions of the heel of the fore topmast does not fit between the fore trestle trees. Anyhow I am not trying to be critical, after all, every great work was penned by a human. (not sure about the future though) Regards Allan bruce d and mtaylor 2 Quote Models finished: Too many to list. Current build.

allanyed Posted August 8, 2023 Share #8 Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) 8 hours ago, alpayed said: I have found errors in Steel's work. There are several errors in Steel's Elements and Practices of Naval Architecture as well, usually scantlings on two lines transposed such as breadth having the thickness dimension and thickness having the breadth dimension. Even with these few miscues both the Steel rigging and building books are great, the only drawback is that they apply to a somewhat limited time frame.
