Gosh, I was hoping Ian would know...
... I only had guesses, but if Ian doesn't know, perhaps my guesses are worth something.
All my references are 9 time zones away, so I can't check, but:
Tom Cunliffe's Hand, Reef, and Steer goes into great depth on gaff rigs, and I know he has a couple of pages on the schooner. I believe the fisherman is covered, but as I said, it's too far to check.
Also, you'd have to check, but there are many detailed drawings in Howard I. Chappelle's The American Fishing Schooner. There may be some helpful things there.
