Captain Augast asked.. "Captain Hawk i can not see change you make to rig in picture can you please be explain?"
OK here is looong explanation.
Potc had this problem that fore and aft sails like gaffboom sails did not work right.
that is gaffboom should be on leeward side =opposite side from windward side.
But then NK and Petros made a ship that had a gaffboom that do work right with wind.
it also has nice flag.I studied how it was done.And here it is for all shipmodders.
As i have already said i like the way stingrays gaffboom sail go up.
Also NK`s gaffboom sail has a little"inside out" look when wind comes from left.
But stingrays sail looks better i think with wind from left.Only a tiny bit "inside out look".
OK here is mini tutorial How was it all done. I hope it is all right to use Stingray as example
I use Inez Dias TOOL to make changes to ship gm files.
First look at mast gm.

rey_a3 and rey b3 are gaffbooms. XX columm -1 is what makes boom work right
with wind, a tiny change but wery important.
Next comes the boom. I use rey_b3 here as example.

First sail, Locator Group "sailf" is right one for gaffboomsail i think.
Next a Flag. I added a gaffboom flag.
In "my character and ship" i have a pic of Sting with gaff flag. but in this example here flag
goes all way up.Notice how ropee27 and flag f1 position "y" and "z" are same.
ropee27 goes to rey_a3 ropeb27 A rope for flag.
Hope this helps and works for all shipmodders and hope it helps
Captain Augast also with his rig work. Now you now how to make boom work right with wind.
