    Engine construction The engine was made with forex and plasticard Some parts of the starter, the wiring and the muffler with the exhaust are still missing. After the top is treated with a tamyia gray primer, then filled and treated with white primer and then painted. Thus it will be possible to take the exact measurements for the shaft line and the assembly of the propeller and the bridge with the motor housing.

    The Schifetto it is a small size leudo-like boat. The leudo is a typical Ligurian boat much larger at least 18-20 m the wood is Swiss pear, but then it will be painted. the beams of the beams until only supported, then they are corrected, aligned and then glued and afterwards they made the cabin and the motor housing. these photos are of a Carlofortino boat built on the island of San Pietro in the early 1900s and motorized in 1927 used for trade and then for the transport of minerals the photos are from 35 years ago today it no longer exists because it was destroyed by a fire,the keel of the boat was 18 m long, it was called Gina and was very similar to a Leudo in fact the inhabitants of Carloforte came to the island from Liguria and the colonies of Tabarka in 1700

    Hello everybody I decided to take a break for the construction of the Enterprize, a very complex job, due to the shorter time I have in this period. At this time I decided to make a simpler model that I have wanted to build for years. A typical boat of the Mediterranean, the schifetto carlofortino, a gozzo that has the characteristic of having the sides with curved rowlocks. Originally these boats were used for coral fishing or fishing for fish and lobsters, or other transport for trade along the Mediterranean coasts. Those for trade were larger in size, even at 18 meters. Now many have been rebuilt for lateen sailing sport regattas, making them very beautiful with the use of precious woods such as teak, iroko and mahogany.

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.
