src Posted March 20, 2020 #1 Posted March 20, 2020 I am looking for some guidance/advise for a possible sail plan for my Enterprise build. I am finally, after 10+ years, getting to the point I can think about sails. What would some likely sail usages be for a moderate wind no more than say 45º off either side of the stern? Am I making sense? I dont want to put all the sails up, most will be furled, I amt hinking two or three. Any ideas? Thanks, Sam mtaylor 1 Current Build Constructo Enterprise
mtaylor Posted March 20, 2020 #2 Posted March 20, 2020 I'm not sure this is what you're thinking but a lot of modelers who do the sails, braille the lower sails up such to show the deck area. I'm not a sailor so I have no idea on what sails would be used under the conditions you gave. src 1 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
ccoyle Posted March 20, 2020 #3 Posted March 20, 2020 Try googling images for Pride of Baltimore II. She has a similar rig, and there's tons of photos of her online. Look for ones that show the particular sailing attitude you wish to capture. allanyed, mtaylor and src 3 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.
