    Lots of knots sounds more like Cyprus Pine than Cedar, Chris. John

    Try Brown, Sons and Ferguson of Glasgow. They were the original publishers of Underhill's plans. John

    What a beautiful ship she was, and you're making a fine job of your model, Brett. John

    There is an interesting little volume by Alan Villiers called "Voyaging With The Wind." It was published by the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich in 1975. Villiers writes about voyaging in a sailing ship - as opposed to what he has called 'a ship with sails'. One needs to do things very differently when the only motive power is the wind. It includes chapters on handling a ship under sail and on passage making. There are currently four copies available on Abebooks, ranging in price from $6.34 to $332.66 John

    I agree with Druxey's opinion on the roof tiles, Clare. That much weight that high up would lead to all sorts of problems. 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.
