The kit instructions are minimally useful at best. The full size drawings of the masts and yards are very helpful but only for getting the dimensions of said parts and getting the shapes approximately correct. Are even those instructions accurate, probably not but they're for the most part close enough.

Anything that has to do with the rigging is again minimally useful. You're way better off looking to some other publications for help there.

For rigging, I use a combination of about 5 different sources and first make sure I'm doing something accurate for the period, then I see it fits with how I'm building my version. The kit directions are pretty inaccurate overall. They do have some things right, but they have a lot of things wrong.

Your certainly making a lovely job of this one even if you are finding the instructions are slightly lacking.

Happy modelling
