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.
Hello from Duluth, Minnesota - and request for direction.

I am a new member to MSW. I am an avid sailor who currently owns a UFO Foiler - which has been a heck of a learning experience. Originally from Long Island NY and after 20 years in the US Navy and other logistics work for DoD, we retired to Duluth, MN.
I joined this group to get recommendations on restoring a pond sailboat that has been in our family for 80+ years. The story was it was made for my uncle who would be 90 years old this year. The hull is 25 " on deck. I stripped the hull down and modifed the keel for a better look.
I realize this boat is more sentimental value but hope this is the right place to start.
Thank you,
Joe
