Hi All I have been looking at a lot of build diaries etc and I have not come across one with th sails "stowed" not sure of the right term .I have seen ships with all the sails up,I have seen with the sails removed but none with the sails rolled up as if the ship was in harbour or at anchor does anyone remember seeing an example or have built one this way I would be keen to build mine this way any advise will be appreciated Trev If my ship's going down,I'm bloody well getting off

 Hi Trev I am building the Soleil Royal at the moment and have decided to have furled sails on the yards  There are several ways of doing them . Some people make a set out of silk span material which is a lot thinner and doesn't create to much bulk . The second way is to use the sails that come with the kit and cut them down by a third to make them smaller There are lots of pictures on the web of furled sails on real ships to give you some idea how they look It's going to be a few months before I get to doing mine but will show how I get on Good luck with your build Martyn Building ?
Completed. Soliei Royal . Sovereign of the Seas . Virginia . Scotland . San Felipe . Corel vasa , Santisima Trinadad X section , Vasa
Next Build ?

Creating furled sails often means you have to reduce the sail size for them to look right on a model. Good luck anyway if you have a go
