    The mizzen sail (and spritsail) actually serves to make adjustments while sailing. I read this somewhere in one of my books. I don't know how it actually works. Maybe this explanation already helps a little. This is from a modern boat. But the explanation is probably also correct for older ships https://www.riggingdoctor.com/life-aboard/2019/5/22/mizzen-staysail I'll see if I can still find the explanation in the book.

    it's been 6 years since the first pictures of this log were posted on 12 september 2016. So today not a big update, but looking back on 6 years of fun, with an occasional dip if something didn't work from the first time 😉 It started as a simple plan to use Aeropicollo's plans. This was quickly given up (bad idea) Septeber 2017 lower hull ready september 2018 interior works september 2019 captain's cabin september 2020 building masts september 2021 Restoring a Singer and sewing Sails 12 september 2022 today, rigging in full process. Hopefully fully ready in 2023 Thanks to everyone who followed, liked, gave advice and supported this build log. Without all of you I would never have made it this far.

    Attach the main sail to the mast. First put in to shape with diluted PVA glue In place The gere The parrel The halyard comes neatly next to the mizzenmast stay A lot of rope work will be needed, and the space on the deck will become difficult to access. That's why I'm going also apply the topsail and work from top to bottom.

    They took the Swedish Vasa partly as an example, and she has those planks too. indeed probably as extra reinforcement against waves

    small update. Most of my free time still goes to the bathroom renovation, luckily the end of this adventure is in sight. With more experience in rigging I attached as much rope to the main sail as possible. This works so much easier and less stressful for arms and back 👍

    Great work. There are quite a few nice examples of a beakhead. I'll look for it, but you'll have to give me a few days. I'm quite busy at the moment 😉

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.
