    Hi Doc Blake; I'm building a model of the Fair American also, but having trouble obtaining details on the running rigging for the sails. DO you intend to put sails on your model? And if so, what will you use for the details of the running rigging? Best Regards, Vic

    I am putting sails on my model of the Fair American adding details not shown on their edition of the plans. They also do not give any info on putting on sails, or the running rigging that is necessary for them I have written to Don Preul at the Naval Academy museum via e-mail and he promised he would help me with some detailed photos of the sails' running rigging, but so far NOTHING. Several follow-up e-mails and NO RESPONSE. So much for help from the Naval Academy Museum. Is there any other approach to getting any info from the Naval Academy Museum? So far all I have been able to do is consult 1) Steel's Elements of Mastmaking, Sailmaking and Rigging, 2) Lever's Young Sea Officer's Sheet Anchor, 3) Nautical Routine; Spars and Rigging, and 4) Dr. Anderson's books. But most info relates to larger 3-maste ships.

    I see a number of references to the Model Shipways SYREN Practicum, but can't seem to find such a document or video. I heard that Chuck Passaro is creating one, but again, I can't find it. I am starting Part 2 of the Syren Instructions and could really use this reference. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Vic

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.
