    Centerboard Schooner C. Chase 1846 by Maury S - FINISHED - Scale 1:48

    Rough shaping of the main rails.  They are going to be finished at 2 3/4" thick, 10" wide.  They are a bit over-sized still.  Next up is to find an efficient way to cut the scarph joints.  The rail pieces are differently arced so making the first cut on the table saw is probably not a good choice

    Will, Thanks for the kind words.  The research was frustrating.  After a long search for a centerboard schooner of the size I wanted (+ / - 60') I settled on the C.Chase because the Smithsonian could supply plans (although in a different scale) and Chapelle has at least some comments.  Turns out that is all the actual information I've been able to find,  including the records of the shipyard where built.  I determined there was ample info. on the type of boat so I went full ahead.  The advantage is there is no way someone can challenge me on some of the small detail.  Practice with TurboCad on the pungy plans.  It takes a while to master that.

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.
