    Update all braces are now on, sheets ad tacks of the main courses, the starboard anchor rigging, additional coilings to belaying points, and a correction to the ensign staff line (hoistline shifted to leeward side of the spanker sail on deck), with thanks to Druxey and Crackers for their kind comments.....

    Wonderful Picture Crackers, thanks for sharing....., well, the way of flying the ensign is exactly as I have done it, from te peak to a point on deck, or ? I understood that Druxey meant the drive boom would possibly nock it away, when changing wind sides Nils

    Thanks Druxey, do you mean that the footpoint of the ensign hoist line should be moved near to the end of the Driver boom ? (I borrowed this pic from the web) Nils

    Hi Crackers, thanks for your comment, the white ensign I`m using is the Naval one from 1707 - 1800 without the thinner diagonal red cross in the top left quadrant of the flag. The Red ensign you are refering to is the one from 1800 - present for civilian ships (with the thinner diagonal red cross in the top left quadrant of the flag). Nils

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.
