LA BELLE: RIGGING IN THE DAYS OF THE SPRITSAIL TOPMAST,
A RECONSTRUCTION OF A SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY SHIP’S RIG
A Thesis
by
CATHARINE LEIGH INBODY CORDER

-

La Belle was a late 17c French vessel that was described as a barque or 'small figate'. Many artifacts illustrated and direct comparisons with the practices of other countries. Should be useful if considering a subject  from 17th-18th centuries.

Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild 

French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold

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.
