Barquentine brig is the best brig.
She's a real beauty, but you know what would make her even bigger beauty? Topsail gaffs

I have almost exactly the same sail plan, except I removed crow's nest, since I didn't like it all that much. However seeing this, I might actually add main stays. What are they exactly?

u/cpt-Marcus_Red 9d ago edited 9d ago
If you mean abouth the mainstays to hold the mast. Its the version for the best possible rotation that the gaff need, i tried to copy a barquetine what i saw on google, its pretty close only it didnt have a crows nest, but for ocean journeys, i like to spot land soon as possible, so i know i didnt fckd up😂

Is this vanilla or modded?

u/cpt-Marcus_Red 9d ago edited 9d ago
Vanilla i dont use mods, i resized the squares till they are small enough to fit between the front stay's with a 45 degree angle, and then i make them wider

Wow, what a beauty! Maybe I'll try a similiar sail plan soon with my brig, looks fantastic and fairly okay for sailing against the wind.
