Thanks Owen 
Rigging always requires a lot of thinking. Since the ropes are not physically stretched I worked out some techinique how to make them look right. I use a long rectangular prism as an auxiliary basis. I put the parts of rigging along one of its edges receiving this way good effect.
What is next? I still look for inspiration. To build "whatever" I need the plans of good quality. On the other hand, unfortunately I am slowly getting addicted to the sailing ships So maybe next project can be: Royal Tartane "La Diligente" (1738 - 1761).

What do you think of it? Any other suggestions? The only limitation is a power of my PC. Last model included over 4 millions vertices and I found it quite difficult to rotate the entire model in a viewport. So looking for the next model I have to take this it into account. Such way I am limited to the relatively small vessels.
