    Mizzen sail has been produced and hoisted. Had some trouble with the sliders. I did not notice when I bought them last year that they were boom sliders and they do not stay put in the larger slot of the  mast! I had to solder some brass wire onto the base plate of each slider -which fits into the mast slot- so that it did not simply fall out again!  Didn't look too good after soldering but it is not noticeable -hidden inside the slot of the mast.

    Mainsail to be done during the weekend. The sails are very lightweight nylon so I have not made them with a large (scale) roach area. Could use battens but I think that the sail will still curl in at the leech if the leech allowance (or roach area) is too large.

    These are the first sails I have ever made in my life so I will not be surprised if I end up making a new sett.

    First I will check that the whole thing floats before getting into advanced sails!

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.
