The trick to fitting it around the guns was giving up on the relationship to the rat-lines and removing a 4x4 by two-brick block from under the mast base.
The mast-base is a 2x2 round on a 4x4 flat, so there's gun clearance!
The gun deck gets covered by "net" covers and the ships boat.

The mast is definitely in a more realistic location for a 1700's golden age of piracy cutter.
Now I just need to hit Hobby Lobby or some such and get some material for the main-sail and maybe another jib. Barquintine rigging is interesting.
