    Today, I started by making the Turnbuckles, I then turned my attention to making the Blocks, I thought about this a lot and I wanted them to look more like real Blocks. I modeled these after the Harken Blocks on my boat. Another thing that I wanted was to have the Halyards in easy reach of the Cockpit rather than have them Cleated to the Mast. ( this is better for single handing the boat )I then attached the Turnbuckles and prepped the Mast for the Standing rigging. With the stays attached to the Mast, I installed the Jib halyard Block and the Blocks for the Halyards. I then ran the rope for the Halyards extra long. Next will be to finish making the blocks for the running rigging and install the standing rigging. Here are the results

    Thank You, Jon, The key to a good finish is going slow, taking your time to make sure the prep( mostly sanding ) is smooth Thank You, Patrick, It's not sad at all, The fun for me is building them, so if I can sell a few here and there it helps finance future builds, I mostly end up giving them to friends and family Best Regards, Pete

    I thought that I would show a couple of comparison shots between # 2 and the current build, # 2 is currently on the market ( Ebay )and I wanted to get a few comparisons before she ( # 2 ) goes to her new home

    Thank You, Piet, I let the first one Sail ( she is now in Florida ) I am pleased with the set of Sails for this boat Hi David B., The material for the sails is a Sport cloth with blue ripstop nylon trim Thanks John, I had a lot of fun that day, I did a series of sea trials for the first boat, wich was part of the build log. She sailed very well Thank you, Nils, The Sails for this boat turned out better than on the previous 2 builds. Best Regards, Pete

    After a busy week ( wich still continues ) I have managed to squeeze in a few hours here and there in the Sail Loft. Ironically, Out of all the Boats I have built, Only the Buzzards Bay 14 have I made Sails for every time. ( This was pointed out to me by Kate ) After many failed attempts, I am pleased with the Sail set for this boat. ( Main and Jib ) I thought I would show the set from the previous Builds. ( # 1 is the Boat in the water) Here are the results

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.
