We tend to see sails furled loosely....with puffs of sail hanging symmetrical along the yard....but rarely do we see sails tightly bundled across the top of the yard. An entire sail, pulled up and bunched and rolled and attempted to be smooth over a jackstay laden yard. Creating ridges and folds to increase the effect can be daunting. Finished off with some slight weathering and stain/chafing details. It looks fuller once the beckets were installed and I added the sheet support rollers/eyes under the yard(Not shown in pics).

ClipperFan Posted February 11, 2022 #2434 Posted February 11, 2022 Rob, as you described the careful consideration you're giving all the painstaking weathering details of just a single tightly furled sail, it's occured to me that you're transitioning from mere model making to an artisan. You may not recognize it yourself but trust me, I see it and I have no doubt that others would do so too. Vladimir_Wairoa 1 Quote

Personally, I have never replicated a tightly furled sail before, but after great experimentation and comparison.....realistic weathered furled sails are extremely problematic...because the sail control blocks and furling beckets need to be correctly replicated while still presenting a good scale sail. I wanted to go in a direction that was unexpected...considering the subject vessel. Nothing is perfect...especially in the real world and replicating this imperfection is my aim...I just don't want a bulky cloth sail, but sails that can lend to the realism and not be a distraction but a compliment. I've probably put more time and attention into this part of the build as I have into any other single aspect and I pray when completed, commutatively they will make this model *POP*. Glory of the Seas deserves my full creative resources. Again...thanks for your fine compliments.

Yes....as you read...you will discover that driving Captains and owners were much of the cause. The *Horn* run and the lower 40 was some of the roughest and largest seas a clipper would race through. One important thing to remember.......that is one reason why McKay built such large clippers. One other detail that will amaze, is that these captains and crews would jury/repair their vessels at sea....in the bad weather....at night....in freezing rain.
