Welcome to my Sultana build log.
I will be using parts and plans from the Model Shipways Sultana kit, but I plan for my Sultana to deviate from the kit in two significant ways.
First, I will be modeling the 2001 Sultana replica, rather than the 1767 original. In addition to pictures taken by myself and others, I’ll be using the book Schooner Sultana: Building a Chesapeake Legacy by Drew McMullen with photos by Lucian Niemeyer.
The book covers the construction of the 2001 ship with lots of descriptions and photographs. Best of all, there is an appendix with measurements of many of the main components.
The second significant deviation is this.
