I hope this whole boat doesn't go this way.😟 I also tried to take one side off the stem thinking it was also upside down, which it wasn't, splintering the teak wood side before I realized it was on right. What threw me a curve was in reading the instruct

    Leo does an excellent job explaining sails and rigging for small boats in episode 90 of Tally-ho. I really enjoyed his explanation. The Rig & Sailplan (Rebuilding Tally Ho / EP90)

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.
