Hola Fred: Thank you very much for your answer, as you said the BB instructions are very confusing, and although the pictures of the Clayton´s model as the one 1:10 scale model at the Vasa museum are very helpful, some details of the rigging are difficult to discern.
However it lets me with a doubt, you said "while the complex arrangement R2 is effectively a foretopgallantmast backstay, a line for which there is no evidence in this period. I would not include this line", apparently this arrangement is shown at the 1:10 model and in both kit models (Corel and BB). Am I right or I did not understand correctly?
Saludos from the Gulf of California, Mexico. Karl

Hola Clayton Sorry about my poor English and nautic nomenclature. Hope I can this time be more specific showing you some images. In the Corel instruccions there is only one rope to hold the yards: But in BB instructions there are two: one to hold the yards (L12 and L17) and another (that I called wrongly forestay but I don't now the exact name) that apparently maintains the masts in position (R1 and R2) Hope to make my point more clear. Saludos, Karl

Hola Clayton: Although I just joined this forum, I have several months checking it and seeing the Vasa pictures you put into your website. Really a fantastic job!!! I start with Vasa (Billing Boat) model about 8 months ago and although I had some problems with the Kit instructions generally I have solved them Now that I'm starting with the rigging I see some differences between Corel and BB instructions so I would like to know your opinion. The placement of the lines that appear in the posterior part the masts: are they Forestays for support (BB) the masts or they are the lines that hold the yards (Corel). In the pictures you can see 2 of the sets I already made Thanks in advance for your comments. Saludos, Karl
