    That's what I thought. I just couldn't think of any reason to keep them where they are. It seems to me that a model ship would look much better in the full bloom of its sails. The only counterargument (besides the time and effort it would take to install them and the extra space they would take up) is the difficult to retrieve them from the deck. They are mostly blocked by the lifeboats and tied down with string.

    I need some brief advice. A few years ago I inherited an unfinished 1980s model of the Constitution from my grandfather, and without any prior ship-building experience, I endeavored to finish what remained of the masts and rigging. I have now put together everything except for the studding sails, but I'm at a slight impasse. My confusion involves the studding sail yards. Unless I am misunderstanding the situation, the instructions say "When not in use, the spare studding sail yards parts 29 through 35 were usually lashed to the gun deck as shown." And indeed my grandfather did appear to place the yards I need for the studding sails in a difficult to reach location on the gun deck beneath the life boats. I have no particular knowledge of sailing ships. Is that indeed where the yards are supposed to be? And is it even worth retrieving them to finish the studding sails? Thanks in advance.

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.
