I wanted to be able to remove the sail from a ship, to get at figures on deck while gaming, so needed some sort of 'clip-on' concept. Finally came up with using the plastic spiral document binders (used the 6mm ones). Cut of some of the tabs and shorted the remainder so there is a small gap to fit over the spar.
The 'clip-on' sail in place ....
Trial concept for a furled sail, using similar method ....

next - finish off the Saxon ships and consider whether to have oars and oarsmen

Absolutely wonderful, watched The 13th warrior last night, so thought I would look in for some Viking inspiration. Sorry I haven't been commenting recently, just very busy.

You are just so productive! - makes me ashamed of how little I actually do.
And the end results are always attractive and useable. Top stuff
Excellent work - really quite effective!
Excellent work! Must revisit all this when I get primed to do some Prince Valiant ships.
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your experiences and photos here. Gave me the confidence to build my own boats using your posts as a guide.
