    Back working on Naparima. Just completed the rudder. I also used my resistance soldering for the second time. Worked like a charm.

    It’s complete.

    If you want to control the height of the bow it is necessary to reduce the bow Plank width. We suggest that 2” be taken out of planks 3 and 4. The taper should start at the bow and go back 6 to 8’

    Plank 2 is now installed and has successfully included all the items identified as errors in the completed pirogue. Looking at the two boats together it is easy to see the difference. The flooring is so much flatter making lots of room for holding nets.

    Putting on plank 2 I had to increase the angle at the bow as well as taper the bow cut . Once that fit i shaved the inside edge at the stern to get it to fit the taper I had previously cut on the outside edge of plank 1, then installed two braces to again flatten the bottom planks

    Ready to install the second plank
  21. Kevin Kenny
    Recess at the stem at the bow started about 2-3feet from the stem
  22. Kevin Kenny
    The recess started 3-4ft from the stern
  23. Kevin Kenny
    The outer edge of the 1st plank was also recessed at a 45 degree angle to match the 2 nd plank
  24. Kevin Kenny
    As a result we had to recess the 2” stern so that it sat flat on the floor boards
  25. Kevin Kenny
    At the stern the top of the keel or shell rose 1” above the floor.

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.
