A good friend in the UK pointed out that I was not rigging the mizzen masts on my non-British ships correctly. I have been rigging all of my different nation ships British style. The Royal navy rigged it's mizzen mast yards back to the driver. All other nations rigged the mizzen yards forward to the main mast. He also was extremely generous and sent me a copy of Rod Langton's book on painting and rigging 1:1200 ships. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Rory!
Here is the 50 gun ship Rotterdam with the mizzen yards correctly rigged to the main mast:
