The belaying key labels on my Gjoa sail plan are all in English except for one pin labeled ørefiken. I assume this is Norwegian as Gjoa was a Norwegian ship. Can someone translate this for me? Google translate isn’t helpful. It says it means cuff or slap on the face. thanks

David, you say you are in the Boston area. I grew up in Saugus, MA and lived on Robinson st. Small world

The hatch was not too difficult other than cutting accurate miters on 1/16 x 1/16 strip wood. That cabin was a problem. The kit provided a solid block of wood that matched the overall dimensions but I struggled with the window frames. Eventually I decided to make them from cards stock and I was lucky enough to have some brass rings in my parts box that were a good fit for the portholes.

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.
