Hi
Yes it is possible but you need to buy the Ancre Le Belle Poule monograph and plan set

Good evening RegG, no one was born learned, you always have to measure yourself, here in my opinion there is a lot of quality to help you, I mean, try itI was thinking of rigging mine however I have no clue what to do regarding the size of the spars, masts, etc... in order that it remains true to scale. It is all Greek to me.
Like Zoly already mentioned, the monograph by Jean Boudriot will give you the necessary information of masts, yards, rigging and even sailsI was thinking of rigging mine however I have no clue what to do regarding the size of the spars, masts, etc... in order that it remains true to scale.

Correct me if I am wrong Uwek but, are the scales not different between the plans and the kit?
you are correct - the plans by Boiudriot are in scale 1:48, so they have to be downsized
Unfortunately these drawings are offered by ancre only in this scale.

This where it becomes problematic for me. I would not want my kit to look strange with the wrong scaled riggings.
Reg ,it is very easy to scale it downThis where it becomes problematic for me. I would not want my kit to look strange with the wrong scaled riggings.
by 1:48 reduced to 1:72 it is only to multiply every measure with 0,6666 and you have the correct lengthThis where it becomes problematic for me. I would not want my kit to look strange with the wrong scaled riggings.

It’s really that simple? Thanks Uwek!
or...use this online calculator. What could be simpler than that
Scale Calculator - Scale Converter - Scale Factor Calculator
Easily calculate scale size or real scale. You can also calculate map scale, distance on map and distance in real life on Map Scale Calculator.

This topic is gaining interest, so I thought I would transfer this information from my Build log so that it will be of interest to others.
However, BEFORE rigging, the other major aspect is the sizes of the Mast, Yard arms, etc. This can be derived from Uwe's example.
Correct me if I am wrong - you really do not need to concern yourself with scale for RIGGING LINES Lenght ONLY. The only thing that would be of SCALE would be the LINE thicknesses, the blocks and pulley sizes, and this would be fairly easy to come by.
I personally would not try nor attempt this unless a person like an advanced modeler comfortable with scales could do this. I see a lot of fore planning to do this.
