I’m going to follow the plan for sails from [Paper Wings](https://deadmanschest.org/2023/01/20/paper-wings-making-sails-for-bp/). If I can get it, I’d love the lines to come from [Syren](https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/miniature-rope.php#!/Tan-ULTRA-Scale-Rigging-Rope-For-ship-Models-Running-Rigging/c/11571022). But how to rig? Well. ## Essential rigging I need: - Stays (standing) - Rings to run the jibs along the forestay - Shrouds (standing) - Ratlines where appropriate (standing) - Futtock shrouds where appropriate (standing) - Topsail yard lifts where appropriate (running) - Jib sheets (running) - Whatever sheets are required for a fore-and-aft rigged aft-most sail (gaff mains on the sloops, lateen mizzen on the galleon) to keep them from swinging about wildly in an imagined wind. (running) - Gaff peak halyard and bridle where appropriate (running—though check if the bridle is standing?) The shrouds need to be anchored in paired deadeyes, because their lack hits me in the realism bits. So those lanyards will be running rigging. ## Dismantling for transport My clever plan regarding detaching the shrouds to allow taking the rigging down is this: where each pair of shrouds loops around the masthead and is seized together, do a “saw a woman in half” kind of magic trick, and insert a bayonet clasp or similar under some wound fake-seizing to allow the shroud to detach at that point. The main/mizzen sheets, and forestay, will both need a solution too. I think that they can probably unclip or pull off (the forestay in particular on the sloops will end in a ring that slides onto the bowsprit).
