    Hello to all. This is my contribution to sail design for 18th -century longboat. Original boat model does not have sails. When I almost finish the longboat I have decided to tray to add a sails but only two of them. For sails material I used old white shirt. Using a paper sheet I found a proper shape and size of sails. I have made a fabric stiffener from 2 Tbsp white flour dissolved in 1 liter of water. Sails size was 4 mm wider on every side for fold down edges. Material was stiffened and ironed. Than I mark a line 4 mm from edge and initially folded it by using a metal ruler. I brushed Elmer’s white glue on 4 mm edge area and fold each down. When the glue dried the sails where pretty stiff. Using a CA glue I glued main sail edges on boom, mast and gaff and finish the rigging of gaff. On jib sail front edge top and bottom corners I attached an eye with hook and finish the rigging. Here are several pictures of longboat with sails. I do not have experience of posting the pictures so I do not know what will be on the screen. Regards, Brian

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.
