OllieS Posted August 10, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2023 I am trying to decide whether the mizzen mast on my Revenge should have a small lanteen sail above the large lanteen sail. The mast is set up with a top so there is certainly room for one (unlike the bonaventure) but various prints seem to show it on slightly later galleons and in the Kirsch book Galleon but not on earlier Elizabethan ships like the Revenge. So it looks like it wasn't normally used and if it existed then the spar was on the deck not aloft. I think the Amati Revenge does have this spar fitted but I'm not sure I want to follow that. Any help on this would be appreciated DARIVS ARCHITECTVS, thibaultron and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution chris watton Posted August 10, 2023 Solution Share #2 Posted August 10, 2023 When designing Revenge, I was in close contact with an expert of this period (I no longer have his details, as this was 15 years ago). Revenge was a very large vessel for her time, and I was told she would have had that upper lateen yard. This is also shown in many contemporary pictures, so I was advised to add it.
