Hello all.
I'm new to model boating having found an old Marblehead in a 2nd hand shop. It is complete with all rigging, vane steering gear and sails. That is the first problem as although I have managed to work out the rigging (mainly), the steering gear is an absolute mystery. I've mounted it without problem, but there are so many adjustable points and interactive connections to the booms that I'm lost.
Does anybody know if there are any diagrams anywhere that could help?
I've managed to get the information on the Lassel vanes and sliding rig, but it seems to have about half the complexity of what I have in front of me.
My intention is to rework/replace/upgrade most of the rigging but I don't want to start until I have an idea of what it should be and how it goes together in the first place.
Any help gratefully received
