I had fun building it, and got comfortable working with a visor and tweezers, so now I hope to be able to move to even smaller scales. Arthur, I would have expected the sails to be foreward of the masts, too. but the photos of the recreation at the War Memorial in Seoul show them displayed aft of the masts. The sails of another boat on display are also positioned aft of the masts. I was able to find photos of various models of turtle ships, some with the sails foreward of the masts, and some with them aft of the masts. Many of those with the sails foreward of the masts did not have the batten poles of the sails bound to the masts with either rope or bamboo strips. This is just one of those ships that people are trying to recreate based on little contemporary evidence of how they actually appeared and were used. | ||

I was thinking about the sails and maybe it makes sense that the sails are pushed into the masts. This requires fewer , lighter lines to hold the sails, takes tension of the sail material as the force of the wind is more evenly transferred directly to the battens and to the mast itself. With the sails the other way around, the sail material is only held at the edges, and the force has to be transferred to the masts and spars through ropes. I think... Anyway, nicely done! Clare | ||
