Swedish Pleasure Yacht (with yacht rigg) after Frederic af Chapman, 1768 (Architectura Navalis Mercatoria, p. 52, plate XLIV, No 3)

I had originally wanted to build one of those lovely English Stuart yachts, like those designed by Peter Pett and Sir Anthony Deane in the 1670s, because they had a simple rig that seemed suitable for RC modeling, and they offered an opportunity to try my hand at some carving for the first time. However, there were no plans available for them (at least not at the time), or at least none that were accessible to me.

Af Chapman's *Architectura Navalis Mercatoria* provided a substitute.

Scale: 1:15

Length: 110 cm (210 cm o.a.)

Width: 38 cm

Height: 180 cm (Keel to Top)

Weight/Displacement: 16 kg (approx. 35 pounds)

Herzliche Grüße

Willi

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.
