    Hello everyone. I am in the process of building a paper model of the Disney version of the Flying Dutchman. My question is, how would the crew handle sails that had been damaged due to maybe cannon balls ripping off pieces of the sail, maybe completely losing clews, or other rigging required features? Would they just take the lines that were flailing around and tie them down? Or maybe remove the associated rigging completely until the sail could be replaced? I am not sure how to handle this scenario on the model I am building. Its painfully difficult when I fit a sail and find all the rigging I put in place can't be utilized because the sail is incomplete. Thank you in advance. Mark

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.
