    Hi All Oh dear I have made a mistake I put the sail on the cross jack. Thanks to Vince pointing this out to me saying the SOS did not have the sail on the cross jack yard/spar. Again thank you Vince for pointing this out to me. Denis.

    Hi Visi First thank you so much for them very kind words ( I don't deserve such praise ). I did not know you was building the SOS. I will send you my e-mail address so we can swop photos OK. I am helping a man in the Northern Territory's with his SOS. So don't be a stranger to my log. Thank you again. Denis.

    Hi Steve Sorry mate no secrecy at all. My wife was given 2 rolls of calico by the chemist at the place she worked as a purchasing officer. The rolls are about 1m in width. I cut about 2m off one roll, to make sure the calico did not shrink I washed it and let it dry then washed it again and let it dry. I cut the pattern of the sails out, then stitched them up. Next job was boil 1lt of water add 3 teabags leave for 20 minutes take teabags out let water cool. Put sails in for two and half hours, take out and lay flat to dry. Sew 1.75mm rope to the top of the sail with invisible thread. Sew to yard/spar with 0.30mm rope. Wet sail then furl and tie them off with 0.10mm rope. Mix PVA glue up with water 50/50 apply to sail let it dry. Denis.

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.
