    Pat, I suspect that your lithographs may have let you down on this occasion. As Wefelck says, brails could only be used on a loose footed sail and they were not required at all on a hoisting gaff, as the sail was furled by lowering the gaff, not by brailing up the sail. The mention in the warrant of 'peak' and 'throat' brails also sounds unusual; it sounds more like they're talking about the halliards! There obviously must have been sheets to control the spanker - are they perhaps listed under the boom rather than the sail for some reason? The trysail wouldn't need a gaff, but it would be unusual for the storm sail to be rigged differently to the regular sails at that would entail a lot of extra rigging and unrigging when the sails were changed. I'll be happy when you finish this model and go on to something a little less mysterious! 😀 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.
