Probable 100+/- year old model that was once sailed in rivers, streams & inlets around Savannah by my father and older brother. My grandfather made it from scratch and my grandmother sewed the sails but alas the sails and original rigging are long since gone. What is pictured was an attempt by my father to stabilize the mast, booms, spreaders etc using what looks to be fishing line closed looped with leader sleeves. I would like to rig it properly. Suggestions & sizes of and sources for the rigging will be greatly appreciated. Also the best guess of a scale. The model's LOA is 25", beam 6", mast height 31" and depth (main deck to keel) 5"

I did a search and was actually kind of surprised by how many pond yacht topics we have posted here. Some of them are concerned specifically with rigging. Comb through them and see if you can find something to get you started in the right direction.
