The rigging on delivered boats varied over the years. The early boats, 
for example, wrapped the standing rigging around thimbles held in place 
with nicropress fittings. You can find some generalized specification of 
the rigging on

As Jonathan Bresler says, be sure to check the half-inch throughhulls.
