Wintergreen Posted November 4, 2013 #1 Posted November 4, 2013 Found this 15 min documentary from 1936. Unfortunately it is in swedish, but the sail handling is general.I must say, it adds another dimension, seeing the lads running up the rigging (rig-rats, perfectly appropriate term). And also hoisting the anchor...team-work allover. The ship in question is af Chapman which was static already then. (servers as a youth hostel since many years). Najaden and Jarramas, both sail training vessels. Najaden is now also static in Halmstad, since many years, and Jarramas is undergoing re-rigging in Karlskrona. Enjoy! http://www.svtplay.se/klipp/164957/marinens-skolskepp-najaden-och-af-chapman-1936 mtaylor 1 Quote Happy modelling!

Jim Lad Posted November 4, 2013 #2 Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks for that link, mate - there's some great footage there, and those ships would make beautiful models. John Quote
