I don’t know of any. I’d suggest working from pictures instead, I used pictures
of the HMBrig Supply when I build the

have to end up straightening out a lot of the curves anyway, I’m not sure that
having plans on hand would make things that much easier. Although, of course,

(Forrester, O’Brian, and Kent) but the names of the rigging and sails has not
really stuck in my head well. Thanks for any help you can give me!

There’s an informative page
here which has a
nice sail plan of a four masted barque. Just make allowances for the absence of
the two aft masts...
