| About the White Metal Sail Kits: The At Anchor kit is supplied with separate furled yards. All other white metal sail set kits contain: Bowsprit with Jib(s) and spritsail; Sails for each mast; 3 Masts. |
| About the Brass Sail Kits: The sails are 4 thou photo etched brass, engineered to .25mm tolerance.. The separate sail parts (which are numbered on the spru to facilitate assembly) also enables individual shaping so that the modeller decides on the 'attitude to the wind', appearance etc. All brass sail kits contain guide to assembly and diagrams. There are also white metal parts as follows: masts, bowsprit and furled courses where appropriate. |
DESCRIPTION OF SAIL SETTINGS
AA |
Sails would be furled above the yard in harbour and below the yard when at sea (individual's choice). |
TJ |
This shows topgallants and courses furled. Could be used in action or when manoeuvring. |
ES1 |
This has the courses, tops and topgallant sail set. |
ES1A |
Tops and topgallants set, courses furled. Used where possible in action to avoid the chance of the lower sails (courses) being set on fire by the discharge of the guns. |
ES2 |
Easy sail with topgallants furled. Courses and tops set. |
APS |
Shows all the square sails set, courses, tops, topgallants and royals. |
FS |
Similar to APS but with the inclusion of stay sails (fore and aft sails rigged between the masts on a vessel's stays). |
SS |
This has
additional sails extending out from the 'all plain sail' set. |
FC |
We've called this set 'full complement' because it comprises the APS set, plus staysails, plus gull wings. This configuation would have been used in light airs to gain every drop of wind. |

| The 'easy sails' where courses are furled, are sometimes referred to as 'fighting sail'. This was preferred because it got the lower sails out of the way. However, the sail set a vessel fought at was dictated by prevailing conditions. The British fleet at the Nile for example, commenced the battle at studding sail and then anchored. Similarly, at the Battle of Trafalgar, the British fleet commenced at studding sail whereas the Franco-Spanish fleet were at easy sail. |
| All Plain Sail Shows all the square sails set, courses, tops, topgallants and royals. |
 |
| Full Sail Sails are exactly as All Plain Sail above plus Stay Sails (as in diagram opposite). Please note: the brass stay sails are individual pieces and are to be positioned/glued to masts and rigging. |
