Armed Virginia Sloop (Original Kit) - 1/48 scale standing and running rigging schedule based on a kit.

 

Armed Virginia Sloop (Revised) - The Standing and Running Rigging (Revised) is based on an evaluation of rigging line and block sizes from the kit drawings and instructions by Ben Lankford against Steel’s Elements of Mastmaking, Sailmaking, and Rigging (1794); and other period rigging plans and sources.  In many cases, the line sizes noted are significantly smaller than specified on the kit drawings.

Topsail Schooner Eagle - The Standing and Running Rigging arrangement is based on drawings by William Zakambell and analysis of the sistership Schooner “Arrowsic” model at the Maine Maritime Museum.  Line and block sizes are based on Steel’s Elements of Mastmaking, Sailmaking, and Rigging (1794); Spars and Rigging from Nautical Routine (1849); and other period rigging plans and sources.

Whaling Brig Kate Cory - The Standing and Running Rigging is based on an evaluation of rigging line and block sizes from the Model Shipways kit drawings and the Old Dartmouth Historical Society drawings / rigging schedule by Erik A. R. Ronnberg, Jr. against Steel’s Elements of Mastmaking, Sailmaking, and Rigging (1794); Spars and Rigging from Nautical Routine (1849; and, other period rigging plans and sources.  The line and block sizes are generally based upon the Old Dartmouth Historical Society rigging schedule.
