Does anyone know of any good sites to go to for getting deck plans and such for schooners, frigates, or other sailing ships in general? Also, are there sights which state which sails are correct and such? (24 years ago, 21-Nov-00, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.boats)

Hello Has anyone tried using the long brown tent poles from the Indian Tipees (wig-wams) as spars for pirate ships ? They look like the "towballs" could be used to hold the sails. Henrik (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.pirates)
