Very much like HMS Diana an Artois-class fifth rate frigate launched in 1794.

Ship model frigate HMS DIANA, sailing ship
Pay attention to the sail plan since British frigates of the time had only 3 sails (course, togallant and royal) on each mast.
When it comes to variations in the quoted dimensions (mainly lengths) for sailing ships there is the length including bowsprit and spanker boom - useful for the size of the glass case needed for a model - but when it comes to knowing the size of the ship the length of the deck, excluding the beakhead, is what is really needed.

Thanks, Looker!

Those links answer a lot of questions! And they give me something to shoot for.
