I don't see why it wouldn't... The rig is pretty much the same, the only differences are the hulls and some of the rigging.
I'm sure some of it will translate differently because of weight and the shape of the sails, but shouldn't be so much that you couldn't use that as some type of a guide....
Let's put it this way, if I had a Blade, I would use it.

Of course, what do I know..I'm just as new to this as you.
