    My non-existent sailing experience couldn't give you a definitive answer to your question, Nikiforos, but I do know that others who were building the Bounty launch at the same time that I was did mention adding a bowsprit and jib-sail to their kits. I can only imagine that there would have been many different rigs, depending upon design and usage, among other factors. Cathead opened up a discussion on the matter here, which you may find useful.

    Good to see you back, Captain. Been a bit on the unwell side for a bit, but enjoying this community's work once again. Cheers.

    Forge onwards, Niki. I believe that you can still turn this into a very acceptable little boat.

    In a completely unrelated topic, the price of oil sits at around $65 per barrel.
  17. CaptainSteve
    Thank you for making that clear, Dziadeczek ... I was very confused.
  18. CaptainSteve
    You'll be needing a tiny, tiny vacuum cleaner next, Patrick. (Or a tiny, French maid)

    A teeny-tiny model boat inside a teeny-tiny model boat !! What a concept !! So, if Genesis is 1:300, then what's the scale of your gaff-rigged yacht ?? Keep up the great work, Patrick.
  20. CaptainSteve
    Just to tie the count up, I'll vote bow. Over to you, Caroline.
  21. CaptainSteve
    Oh !!!
  22. CaptainSteve
    I'd agree with Mark on the two ships from astern ... but I also really like Vossie's first pic.
  23. CaptainSteve
    Those are words that should be reserved for the really good builders here on MSW ... not myself. You are way too kind, Nikiforos. I thank you.
  24. CaptainSteve
    Plans, you say ??? What a concept !!
  25. CaptainSteve
    She looks magnificent, Matthias !! I love the mirrored baseboard - great idea.
  26. CaptainSteve
    Nah. Yours looks too good, CH. I think you would have to drop it a couple of times ... mebbe kick it against the wall some.
  27. CaptainSteve
    I just wish to point out that I have never read this thread, nor have I looked at any of the pictures. Whoever "liked" your posts using my log-in is a dirty rat. I'm going to hide now. Possibly in a mountain cabin. Or possibly somewhere else.

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.
