Has anyone ever come across this ropewalk? I purchased it 20 years ago and never used it and am now trying to get it up and running but have no instructions. Lots of the parts have rotted out and need to be changed.

The result of this journey was my fully documenting the process in a paper and continues to evolve as more data gets discovered. I am now on the journey of looking for the plans of her sister ship the St Patrick. I came across a model that was in the science Museum in london and is now in Prison in a warehouse. This model could not have been built without access to the original ship plans. So far i have been unable to find the plans but the journey continues. I am in touch with the curator of the science museum but she has not been able to find the plans. The journey continues.

Gregs comment “Maybe an optical illusion but the first gunport (not the bridle port) looks a bit short.” i have checked all the gun ports. the forward gunport is 27” high and 18” wide, aft is 27” high and 24” wide and all others are 27” high and 28” wide. So unless i have my measurements off the plan they are all ok.

I have the Preac fence. Ill be checking all the ports this week. I hope not because i checked and corrected them before i started the planking.anyway if its too small thats an easy fix, if it too large thats a pain in the butt.

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.
