    I am presently building the Cutty sark, Revell 1/96. I.ve got the hull very well along , and am looking ahead to the rigging. I've noticed that the lifts used on the spars are made of cable, and are taut when in port with yardarms lowered, and loose when at sea under sail,( spars in raised position).I have also noticed that there some other means is used to actually raise or lower the yards. Are the halliards used for this? If so, what is the purpose of these lifts? Or why aren't the lifts rigged to accomplish this. Seems kind of redundant to me. But I'm sure some of you guys know why. Please educate me so that I can proceed intelligently. I like to know WHY that line is there. I have been seriously studying the Cutty, build logs. I have seen some truly magnificent work here. Thanks for any help in this.

    Yes Terry, Glad to be aboard. I sent a reply to your response, but have no idea where it went. Maybe this is the right spot. You must be a squid yourself, knowing the L&C's nickname. Thanks for your service. I hope this post goes where I want

    I'm Kevin and this is my first membership of this kind. Been building model ships off and on all of my life. Really reduces stress, when not creating it. Built the USS Contitution a couple of times, currently building Revell 1/96 Cutty Sark. Stumbled across this MSW by accident and found that there are some REAL modelers here. Some of the work I've seen here is nothing short of MAGNIFICENT. Call myself Lost and Confused, as that was the nickname of my ship, in the USN. Was a SSBN submarine. My first choices were "Bubblehead" and "Boomer but they were already taken. I will be asking questions . Glad to be here

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.
