For a longer time l was looking miniature masters at work ... so I decided to try something similar. I'll make something simple to start. Pasara - Croatian traditional boat. My building is not traditional, but you will see ... Pasara is a middle-sized boat, similar to other traditional boats by her design and by purpose. The pasara´s characteristic feature is the transom stern. The flat broad surface of the transom allowed easy fitting of the outboards motors, making the pasara very popular among the recent boatmen "barkarijoli" who used to rent their boats and offer their navigational services to turists for short trips. The smallest pasara used to have no deck, The middle sized and the larger ones of 5 to 6 meters of length were usually partly decked up to about a third of the boatˇs length from the bow. In recent times special wooden covers, similar to hatch covers on larger boats, were used to cover the entire pasara to protect the inside of the boat from rain or sea. A small pasara was used for fishing as well as for transport, but was frequently also used as a by-boat, named "kajic" for larger sailing boats. When not in function of connecting the large boatwith the coast or towing her in the calm, "kajic" was usually the lugsail and the jib. Various local shipwrights tended to develop thier own practicular design features. It was easy to discern those caracteristic local features among pasaras along the coast. Thus, the pasara hull design which was subject to local preferences too. The pasara could be seen carrying the lug, but also the lateen , or even the gaff sail.

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.
