Nautical Research Guild
237 South Lincoln Street
Westmont IL, 60559-1917
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.
Hurricane Island Pulling Boat
in Wood ship model kits
Posted · Edited by lakebased
The Hurricane island pulling boat kit was sold by The Laughing Whale company in the 1980's. An ad describing it can be found in the May/June 1982 Number 46 copy of Wooden Boat magazine. If a scan of this ad would help you, let me know. It was designed by the distinquished American naval architect Cy Hamlin. His book " Primary Design of Boats and Ships" is a must read for anyone interested in boat designing. Mr. Hamlin is now in his nineties and very alert. He has helped start a small but interesting museum of foreign boat models at The Landing School. I would be very interested in finding one of these models if the kit is complete. Hopefully this info helps you.
