@SpyGlass Thank you for your nice words over my sails, but again and mostly thank you for your help which I appreciated very much.
-
@SpyGlass Thank you again! Its actualy hard to come on all this you just explaind if someone hasnt the luck to sail such a sailship. So, posting a picture of what I have done. Thats the maximum I can succeed by keeping wind into the sails.

@SpyGlass thank you for the very round answer. So I understand that having the inner and outer jib hauled without using the flying jib its not a wrong case to display on my full flying sails model? @AON thank you, so you do agree that inner and outer jib only, by almost full flying sails its something that happens?
-
Thank you Mark, a quick response and an answer that looks to come from someone who knows! Ok yes, "the outer jib is hauled further", its an explanation... which I welcome indeed. Christos Ps the ship still has a flying jib on the bowsprit arrangement as in picture.

Am planing to finish Hermione's sail plan using only two jib sails instead of three (ships full rig plan). Is it correct (in order to picture a correct sail set) to fly the inner and outer jib sail and spare the flying jib, which I assume was the third and last jib to fly. In other words is the flying jib the third and last jib to fly? I believe thats picture no 1, there is the inner and outer jib, the flying jib is missing. But what about picture no 2, is there the outer and the flying jib flying and there is the inner jib the one missing?

Yards have been formed and then prepared with a pass of cellulose sealer and then had a fine sanding with a 240 and 320 sandpaper. After that two passes of black acrylic vallejo paint did the miracle. After drying the yards were equipped with their fine quality double and triple blocks from Syren Model ship Co.

Standing rigging almost finished. Some shoe paint was used in order to clean the glue stains from the ropes. The ''binding thread'' (auxiliary thread used to bind standing rigging ropes in position) was waxed for better adhesion. All the standing rigging ropes (from Modellbau Tagelgarn), were excellent quality and I have not treated them in any way. Mizzen mast backstays still to go.

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.
