palmerit Posted February 20 Author #64 Posted February 20 One thing I was kind of unhappy about - especially in the posted photos - is that shine on the sails. The instructions called for painting the sails with a cream-consistency slurry of water and PVA (I used white bookbinders glue) to stiffen the sail. I don't know if there were other options, the glue slurry needed more water, or if I could have just left the sail unstiffened. The stiffened sail did make mounting it to the mast easier since it was a stiff piece. I didn't see the Vanguard Ranger, which comes with sails, having this step. robert952 and Bryan Woods 2 Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), Grand Banks Dory (Midwest Products) In the Queue: Zulu 1900 (Vanguard Models), Endurance (Occre), Syren US Brig 1803 (Model Shipways), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Endurance (Lego), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways)
