Today, I got started by getting the second coat of paint on the Mast and Boom. I then finished making the winches. I started cutting out some of the Logos for the boat, None of the winches or graphics have been applied, except for the logos on the Boom. Next will be to make the Boom vang and finish up the Cockpit details. Here are the results

Thank You, Piet, It is nice to get back to work on this one ( it's been a while ) The design of these modern racing yachts is very impressive and the performance and speed is Amazing Thank You, Patrick, I have been wanting to get back to this one for a while, I can't believe that it had been a couple of months since the last time I worked on her. Working on the Volvo has got me thinking about building a cup yacht next ( perhaps a Larger scale Australia II ) We'll see Best Regards, Pete

After a Busy week, it was nice to get back in the shipyard, Today, I started by spraying the first coat of flat black to the Mast and boom. I then marked out and painted the Yellow triangle in front of the Mast step. I then cut out the forward hatch and started making the Primary winches, Next will be to finish making the winches and deck hardware, Nothing in the Cockpit including the forward hatch has been installed and is dry fit. 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.
