Jolly Roger/La Flora Rigging
Posted by thibaultron on Monday, January 27, 2014 12:57 PM

Does any one know if the plans offered by the French Maritime Museum have a rigging digram/plans sheet?

I haven't seen that particular set of plans, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't include a sail/rigging plan.

Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.

It would seem to me that with the model apparently being based on those plans and the Kennedy model, but with no known actual namesake that was the same design; the modeler is at their liberty to rig her pretty much as they see fit.

To answer the question, I don't know. I once tried to get them from the Musee online, but I ran out of French before I got to the finish line.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Do you mean the plans & monography issued by the "Association des amis des musées de la marine" (AAMM)?  I think the Kennedy model is based on those plans and the plans themselves are based on the model in the museum in Paris. There is a sail and rigging plan included in the AAMM - set of plans. Sometimes you can find them on ebay (but the AAMM website/online shop is also available in english).
