Mamoli's Blue Shadow rigging question

[johnhoward]

Fellow modelers:,

II have been asked by a friend to repair the rigging for his "Mamoli"  MV22 "Blue Shadow" model. My research confirms that it is a "fictional" but very "handsome" model but it seems to be over-rigged for such a small vessel and crew size during the American Revolutionary War Era. Are my suspicions correct? Specifically, would it carry all of the upper "Stun sails"?  If realistic, would its' rigging be more likely to use French or British convention?

Any other comments would be welcomed.

Thanks,

JOHNHOWARD

Hi, John.

 

I have split your query off into a separate topic. I can't answer whether the Blue Shadow is over-hatted, but on the question of British vs. French practice, I would lean towards British, since she's a colonial vessel.
