    And so to sails. These are the finished size templates . . . tomorrow off to the little village of Calstock by the Tamar to see if the little sewing shop there can turn my washed and ironed sailcloth into proper sails. Here's a hoping. Ordered fine white waterline striping today and some additional cotton thread

    Hello Don . . . and firstly my apologies for not replying earlier as so many (too many) outdoor projects on the go and the weather has improved a little here in Cornwall. As an aside . . . how's things all the way over there in Vancouver ? My answer is YES, walnut with a button polish wipe over. I have just ordered fine white waterline tape and am charging along on the spars, mast, winch and even the sailcloth. Will post an update shortly Take care Jon

    I started this build a few months ago and having just joined this forum/site wondered if anyone would be interested in the progress so far. I'm guessing that I'm around 2/3rds the way though it but I would be more than happy to post the progress history from buying the kit on a well known auction site, tracking it across the USA, the Atlantic and the UK and trying, with problem eyes and fingers, to build this beautiful fishing/racing schooner.

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.
