Re: What sails?
John
The Greenwich model is indeed an excellent example and you're would be well advised to follow it's example, however you might want to keep in mind that there is no actual correct arrangement of sails in such a situation.
The model does a fine job of representing a vessel in the process of coming to anchor and furling the sails but in many ways this is also the model maker's composition, setting the sails at once as at rest and at the same time in a visually pleasing manner. It is as much an act of artistic license as it is accurate history.
You get to decide how your model will tell it's unique story.
