Greetings to all! I've been under several responsibility rocks for a while and am digging my way out. Good to be looking at ships again. I was reading a few sources recently and kept bumping into sail settings that I was having trouble envisioning in my mind. It occurred to me that a configurable visual reference would be incredible, which led me to wonder if anyone has tried to create an application that showed sail situations based on user input. For example, you could select a brig, then select topsails, gallants, and royals, and a basic image of a brig with the appropriate sails set would generate below. Maybe even complicated enough to show what sails would look like reefed in those conditions. Has anyone ever bumped into anything like that? Anyone else think that would be a neat reference to have for modeling or maritime art? Be well!

And now I think I will need to order the Seahorse Leudo Vinacciere...

Hello to all! I'm new to ship modeling. My primary interests are small, working sail craft. I've worked with paper in other types of modeling and am interested in applying what I've learned to ships. Thanks for having me in your community! NM

Hello! I just read Karol Budniak's paper model article in the Autumn Nautical Research Journal. In his article, Karol references a second layer of planking, laid vertically, that has markings for the third layer of individual strip planking to be applied. I enjoyed the article very much if you're out there, Karol. I've been tinkering with paper models (airplanes, buildings, etc.) for years and have wanted to try small ships for some time. I've had the thought in my head that the pre-staging of planking, the creation of a flat template if you will, should be possible, but this is the first evidence I have seen of someone doing it. Does anyone know how the lines are being created on the second vertical planking sheet? More importantly, how do you go about transferring the shape of a hull to a flat surface? It seems to me that if you could accomplish this efficiently, anyone could create templates for planking, even in wood. Thanks for humoring my pondering! NM
