SAILING THE HIGH SEAS
By Chris McPherson, Jake Landis, Mark Gregory, Nick Davis,
Jason Foley & Rick Smith

This installment of Ask the Scenery Guy concentrates on tall ships and seagoing vessels. In particular, the process of riggin' yer sails. Argh! That's right. Maybe you've already had a chance to build your own ship (and if you haven't, check out p. 130 of The General's Compendium), but now you're ready to get it ship-shape and ready for the high seas.

This article will show you three examples of sails, how to construct the canvas version, and how to paint and decorate them. Shiver me timbers!
