Jolly Roger/La Flora Rigging

Modeling Subjects Ships
1

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.

3

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.

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).
