    I have an unrigged Flying Cloud Pond Boat purchased in a Cape Cod Antique Shop in 1999. I believe the mast and spreaders are original, but the remainder of the rigging was a very bad attempt at restoration (mostly string and dowels with an attempt to use canvas for the sails) by someone who was clearly not a sailor. I have been searching for a standing and especially running rigging diagram. It seems that Seaworthy boats are very rare because I have been unable to find more than a handful of pictures, all lacking sufficient detail to show how the mainsheets are lead. I have included a picture of the tiller. The elastic was something that I had temporarily rigged to see if I could reverse-engineer the mainsheet path. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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.
