    Welcome and enjoy!! I agree 100%. When I am building a kit time gets distorted and an hour goes by in what seems like a few minutes. The downside is that it is a great way to shorten your life. Best Rick (RVB)

    Great build. The history of the smack was not only informative but also very impressive. Will fallow the build closely. Best Rick (RVB)

    I love following your build. I have the same kit sitting on my work bench. I am going to start it after I finish up my patriotic Chesapeake Bay Crabbing Skiff. Your build is coming along great.

    Welcome I joined back in July and have enjoyed every minute that I am on this forum and I am sure you will too and you will find the builds very helpful!

    I’m all in on that. Mine had dark blue stripes and a compass mounted in front of the centerboard. I loved that boat and have many fond memories of her.

    Nice to meet another 470 lover! Sure do miss those days. Mine was a light blue Vanguard!

    Hi Mark I got interested in sailing when I attended the Univ of Maryland dental school in Baltimore. After graduating I used to race an Olympic 470 #984. As I aged in life I sailed and owned a Hunter and later a Catalina. I miss sailing. By the way look at MeCray. His other prints are just as beautiful and impressive. Too bad he passed in 2017. Sincerely, RVB ( RICK)

    IMG_2743.mov IMG_2743.mov Hi Mark I noticed in your log introduction you mentioned Endeavour’s Americas Cup Race against Rainbow ( cup defender ). One of my addictions is collecting Nautical Art especially Americas Cup. Have you ever seen prints by John MeCray. He is a world famous Americas Cup artist. His paintings bring life to the subject. If you get a chance you might want to look him up and his paintings. His studio was in Jamestown Rhode Island. I met him in the 70’s when he had just finished painting Rainbow .That’s when I started collecting his art. As I mentioned look him up and enjoy! Here’s his artist proof.

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.
