This might be of interest to Amine. It's a print of an engraving showing how difficult it must have been to furl sail on Chebecs. It comes from Ancre's manual for building Requin 1750. He says that the young sailors were chosen from a certain port in France for their agility. They needed it!

Yes I did know that Charles. I thought that Hubert Berti also died shortly afterwards. Two men who devoted much of their lives to study of the French Royal Navy and its ships.

The ANCRE website seems to up and running. Looks improved.
Sorry to hear about H Berti.
I thought that I read that the ANCRE website and books etc. was now run by Jean Boudriot's son. Update correction on this is welcome.
I have the pleasure of owning several of his books and a couple of drawings tat were used in his books.

H. Berti did a Great job on that model and several others also.

Later Tim

Should add there is a nice downloadable (Free) book catalog pdf file of their books.
