    Nice job on the anchor release mechanism! I went with a more simple version, just a bar that could be pulled back to release the chainRick

    Well, as the end of summer approaches, work on the FF has progressed. I finally rigged the mizzen Spencer and spanker booms. Ran into a problem with the run of the peak halyard as the mizzen top prevents a direct run to the appropriate belaying pin. This necessitated belaying the halyard 8 pins aft. I checked the measurements of the top and they were spot on. I also moved the throat halyard aft to be symmetrical with the peak halyard. The topping lifts were belayed to the spider band, while the spanker sheets were belayed to the mooring bits. I kind of made up the belaying on the bits as I not sure how this was done. Also added some rope coils. The topsail yard was added to the topmast and the topgallant shrouds installed and the topmast placed on the mizzenmast. The topsail yard chain halyards and the topgallant chain sheets were also rigged. The tails of the lanyards were finally secured to the last up leg as per the USS Constitution. Finally, the rat lines were installed on the lower shrouds.

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.
