    I have just received E. Leclerc's model double-masted schooner, Canadienne. It is in bad shape and I'd like to restore it to its former beauty. All the standing and running rigging (there are no sails) has rotted into pieces. I want to replace all the lines. Other than reading all of Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey and Maturin books, I know nothing about sailing ships, let alone schooners. I've found a couple pictures of the schooner from when it was on sale but the pictures are not clear enough to teach me how to re-rig the lines. Is there a diagram of how the standing and running lines are rigged on a double-masted schooner somewhere? Also, where can I find thread that is thick enough to replace the rotted lines? It seems the stays are thicker than the running lines. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you, Fred

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.
