pirozzi Posted February 18, 2013 #2 Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for the link. It will be very helpful with my build of the Sovereign of the Seas. Vince.
trippwj Posted February 21, 2013 #3 Posted February 21, 2013 For a good reference on 17th century rigging, you may want to take a look at The Rigging of Ships in the days of the Spritsail Topmast, 1600-1720 by R.C. Anderson. Very nice reference that covers a variety of European rigging. JPett 1 WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus
pirozzi Posted February 21, 2013 #4 Posted February 21, 2013 I have that book and have been using it for reference. Lots of info and illustrations. Vince P. trippwj 1
amateur Posted February 21, 2013 #5 Posted February 21, 2013 The pic is an english copy of a drawing in Van IJk's book on Dutch shipbuilding. Anderson is a good reference. Anderson did republish his book, focussing more on the English rigging. So, if building a 'continental' ship, you should go for the earlier book. Jan
