Welcome to the salty side of the hobby Ionnie

The book, "The battlecruiser Hood" in the Anatomy of the ship series has some pretty good rigging diagrams that were a great help to me. The author is John Roberts. You can pick them up second hand for a reasonable price.

Usually it pays to start in the centre of the ship and work your way outwards, thus avoiding the possibility of damage.

Hope this helps.
