    Topmast staysail is in place: I had intended to rig all of the fore and aft sails first, but I realized why zu Monfeld recommends going from fore to aft, bottom to top, so next up is the fore course.

    Thank you!

    I look forward to seeing them.

    I wasn’t happy with it. It looked too neat and to plasticish. I inked it with a rusty brown and rehighlighted it. It looks well used now. I’m happy with it now.

    What is a flying jib traveller inhaul and where does it attach on the sail?

    I really like the models of the America that I have seen. I have the plans in one of my Chapelle books. I am going to use them to build one, one of these days.

    Popeye, Excellent work!

    John, How did your Victory turn out?
  22. GrandpaPhil
    Looking good!

    I removed the sail because that picture made me realize that a) I should have ironed it and b) I erred in not attaching the halyard block. I will remedy that tomorrow.
  24. GrandpaPhil
    First sail on.

    One complete set of sails for a Baltimore Clipper: Next step, iron and install/rig. As a quick side note, I was going to billow was sails, but decided against it out of concern for the effect of age on starch which could cause discoloration over the years.

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.
