Underhill, "Plank-On-Frame Models and Scale Masting & Rigging, Vol II", 1964 reprint, Brown, Son and Ferguson, LTD. I have others if you are looking for something else drop me a PM. I am looking for the following books. Prefer hardcover books but will consider softcover. "Fore & Aft Rig in America" by E. P. Morris "Rigging of Ships in the Days of the Spritsail Topmast" by R. C. Anderson "Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture" by David Steel or the Knowles edition of the same book. Books on the design and construction of small craft (~<100' LOA) that include plans and detailed descriptions of the boats. Books on modeling small craft. Model kits of small craft including fishing boat, utilities, racing craft and other work boats. I have built all the Midwest apprentice series but would be interested in their America's Cup models and other small craft.

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.
