    The mast position is almost identical to the Utrecht replica. The sail plan is therefore also roughly the same. Explanation from the book about the Utrecht replica: The Utrecht reached an average speed of 5 knots from wind force 4. The highest speed was 8.1 knots. The leeboards served to prevent drift to the leeward side. Therefore, there is only one leeboard down (on the leeward side) at any given time. The sailing characteristics depend somewhat on the skipper's experience, as was learned during sea trials with the Utrecht. The old Utrecht was operated by a skipper and a crew of four. It was therefore heavy work for them. The longest sailing voyage of the "Great Yacht" was from Emden to London. For this explanation, I relied on the information from the book. I know absolutely nothing about sailing myself.

    Sewing sails From workbench To sewing table. With the 70-year-old Singer machine. And yes, this cotton makes sails too thick. But stitching and sewing are one of my favorites. Stitching. Sewing thread around the sails. Stitching and sewing is ready Treating with beeswax instantly changes the color and makes the sails less fluffy. Next step: running rigging and hoisting the sails

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.
