    Hi Kurt. I was looking for Crothers drawn plans called Sea Gull Plans and finally ended up here .I was thinking of buying the "masts" book too but if it's too much like the clipper ship book then I already have the info. Wondered what you found in the 'Mast' book that was different from the Clipper book. Also do you have any idea if William is still alive? I can't find any info on that either. Currently building the Great Republic in 1:48.

    Hello Allen. Just ran across your post here and thought I'd write a note. How did you make out getting the plans for this ship? I am currently building the same model and trying to figure out what size lines to use where. Were you able to find out the correct sizes of ropes and chains and how did you convert the sizes to the appropriate size for the scale your working in? I found that the foremast had several different sizes of ropes, some standing and some running rigging. Standing sizes ran from 4" to 11" but I've not found anywhere that shows ropes that big. I'm kind a stumped for the moment. Pete PS; I am using the book by William Crothers that shows the sizes of ropes for clipper ships built in the USA. The Cutty Sark was built in England I think and used a somewhat different rigging scheme. New England ships were rigged a bit different.

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.
