Thanks Nils, I had a lot of fun building this. I even found a lot of u-tube videos of the original boat still in service. Mike Gallant

Hello Lars, Thanks for your research, however I have managed to complete the model with all the photos and instructions I could find. It has turned out to be a very nice model. See attached photos Regards Mike Gallant

Thank you Darivs, I really appreciate your sharing this info. Having started assembling some of the ship I am having a bit of a problem with the parts list. It is only in Italian and Corel does not have an English translation. Do you know if there is one in existence? I have tried using Google Translate but some of the words don't make sense.

Hi to all, I have finally opened my Corel kit of the La Couronne and in reading the documentation I see the instructions in various languages but the parts list is only in Italian. Does anyone know of a source of the parts list in English? Thanks in advance Mike

Hello to all, I am just waiting for Santa to deliver my Corel La Couronne kit shortly. In doing some preliminary research I came across Lee Martin's project on NRG and he mentioned some modifications. Not knowing some of the part terminology I was hoping for some pictorial example for the following: What are catharpins? What are jeers to the main yards? What are bowlines to each yard? What are mizzen topmast stays, fore topmast stays and spritsail topmast backstays? And what do each of these look like? Can anyone point me in the right direction for documentation etc. Thanks

Hello to all, I have just been given a mouse-eaten partial kit of the Billing paddle wheeler Hjejlen. It has a large one page construction plan and a small 1 page build description. I believe there was included in the original kit a multipage instruction manual.Does anyone have one that I could get a copy of? Billing boats website no longer has any info on this kit. Thanks
