Trevor,

 

Thank you so much for your help with this question. It seems like I can't go wrong no matter where I position the staysail.

 

I am not a sailor but I do enjoy making models of beautiful ships. I usually rely on a kit with good plans and instructions to get the details right. This is not one of those kits, so your help is greatly appreciated.

I thought it might help to point you to some of MacAskill's photos of the original Bluenose but a quick Google search led me to something better: Colourized video of her racing Thebaud in 1938, brought to you courtesy of Nova Scotian taxpayers:

Besides the video, if you click on the "Virtual Exhibit" button on that page and then search for "Bluenose", you will get a whole mess of still images, including some with details on deck gear. For a more-direct route to those, you could try:
