    A wonderful job on the control pedestal, Keith - congratulations. John

    That photo over the stern of 'Stella' really shows her up well, Mark. I love the photo looking back past Bradley's Head. Is that your daughter enjoying a day's sail? John

    To avoid confusion for the uninitiated, 'reef knots' are called 'square knots' in America. John

    Gary, some fans would certainly be sucking air into the ship to ventilate engine and boiler spaces and also accommodation by forced draught rather than natural air flow. John

    Been I while since I've dropped by, Keith. She's looking really nice - as I would expect. Only problem is, that workshop looks disgustingly tidy! John

    Beautiful work on the details, Dan. John

    Some barques and ships sported gaff sails on the fore and/or main, Pat, But I don't think it was very common! Johnb

    She really looks first class with the sails rigged, Mark. John

    A fascinating log, Daniel. Thanks for posting this detailed explanation of how it's done. John

    A jackass barque is fully square rigged on the for but not the main or, in a fore masted vessel, usually square rigged on the fore and main and fore and aft rigged on the mizzen and jigger. This vessel is only partially square rigged on both for and main so would more properly be called a topsail schooner on even a two topsail schooner. John

    Seems appropriate to use French Pear on a French ship! looks like this will be a great project, Chris. John

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.
