Working on a drawing of the Fife yacht Mariquita.

Tons of photos available. So with enough care and patience it should be possible to get each sail seam, reinforcement and gusset in just the right place. But............

No one photo has a perfect view of the complete set of sails. So it takes multiple pictures. You got to make sure the different photos you use were taken at the same time. The sail plans on yachts are always being tweeked. So if you have a sail plan from 2006 and you are trying to put the cloth arrangement from a 2014 photo, it may not work. The 2014 sail may not be the exact same shape as the 2006 plan shows.

 

No reason in the world to go into how I have come by this particular "epiphany"

Drown you may, but go you must and your reward shall be a man's pay or a hero's grave

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.
