on Ebay many sellers for ABER Mast Yard arms and masts in 1/700 and 1/350. They are nicely tapered. Get those and see.

The different ships will have a different diameter if a pole or a tripod mast and if a small or a large ship. So find the real diameter of the mast and cross trees (yards) and divide by the scale. For example a 500 mm diameter mast for a 1:200 ship would be a scale 2.5 mm. So find the closest available size and work from there.
