Hello Allan, I have tried three times to order that book from them. All three times failed, due to an issue with their payment modul. I have written to them, but didn't get an answer- yet. They may be out of business due to the pandemic? Thanks for the advice Best regards Jean-Philippe

Hi Allan, Thank you very much for your advice. I have just ordered the booklet about sailmaking from Seawatch Books. I have all 4 Boudriot books about the 74 gunship, but i think that the chapter on sailmaking is very small and there are few drawings. Once again, Thanks ! Best regards Jean-Philippe

Yes, I have tried before and used tons of time to make them. But they were not good enough for the ship model I worked on (Victory) So, I think to order them from somebody who is good at it

Hello, I am building a shipmodel " Le Superbe" of the 74 gunship from Mantua in scale 1:75 I have made several modelships before and used a contact in Eastern Europa (Radek) for making the set of sails needed for the models. Now, the contact is not responding anymore, therefore I am looking for a expert in sail making for modelships. Do you know anybody making those kind of sails? Best regards Jean-Philippe Simon

Thank you Wefaclk for your advices. I will then build a crate for the ship, a box in a box. So I can secure it with straps. Best regards Jean-Philippe

Thank you all for your input on that matter. I think the best and cheapest way will be to take a road trip to France with the beast well packed on the back seat of the car. And I will get to see my dad at the same time, Win-Win situation Have a nice day ! Greetings Jean-Philippe

Hi Guys ! I have, finally, found a former captain from the Seabourn ship on Facebook. He agreed to send me some plans from the ship, and i just received them. It looks like the one Tom found on the net, but they are more precise with the correct dimensions. Thank you very much all of you for your help Best regards Philippe (pilidk)

Hi Rob and Mark, I have been crawling the net..again..and wrote to the shipyard. But just found out at they went out of business in 2009. So, as you suggest, I will have to deduce the form of the hull. For the decks, a precise interpretation of the pictures from the net is also the only way forward. Such a pitty, not to be able to find some documentation of this beautiful ship I will try to make some drawings of my build, so other model maker can use them. Have a wonderful weekend! Hope you guys are not freezing in the US Philippe
