Tahitian Va'a Motu

Old-form Va'a Motu from Tahiti, based on diagrams in Haddon & Hornell's "Canoes of Oceania," Doran's "Wangka: Austronesian Canoe Origins" and Neyret's "Pirogues Ocenaniennes." Western drawings of this canoe type go back to the 1770s. By the 20th Century, this sail form had been replaced with spritsails of western form.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
