Stefano running rigging

[Morten in Norway]

I am building the barque Stefano from MariStella.

I have a question about the running rigg.

The instructions only shows the ship with sail. I am building it without sails. 

Somebody out there have drawings or insructions for the running rigging a barque ship without sals.

Hi Morten, 

 

That's my log Chris has linked to above... sadly I had to pause the build having suffered a brain injury that put the mental requirements somewhat beyond my current abilities, but I still have all the plans (albeit packed away in the loft), and the model sat on my desk next to me. If I can be any help, I will gladly try.

 

Am I right in thinking that you are looking for runs of rigging (i.e. which side of spars / other lines things pass), belaying point details, positions of yards when not carrying sails, etc? To my recollection I never really quite reached that point... indeed it was that task that I found most daunting in this model. As you'll see in the pictures on the log above, I placed the sails but they have no rigging attached, and there is no other running rigging at present. 

 

Ultimately, (and apologies if I get this wrong) as a minimum, I guess you want halyards to hold the yard up from the centre, braces for horizontal planar direction from the ends of the yards, and lifts for the vertical alignment going to the ends of the yards? The difference between rigged and unrigged is then that the yard is in its lowered position. The final part of the puzzle would be where to belay all of those lines... some through a block on the deck and then up to the centre pin rails (halyards?), some onto the belaying pins down the sides of the deck. Which side do they belay to? Is it higher yards further forward or aft? All of those would begin to make a plan of sorts.... and for the rest, well.... it's a collier trying to make a profit, not a royal navy vessel trying to pass inspection 😉

I only used the bulkhead construction from the kit and some small parts, rest are from my big scratch boks.

Wow, what a handsome model. I fear you are ahead of me and I will therefore be little help to you at this stage, but I wish you every success in finishing the task.

Rodurant;  I have have read all of your build log and find it nice. Hope you soon can continue your Stefano.
