My names Chris. I recently inherited a beautiful, rather large, r/c model of the Emma C Berry. It was built by my Uncle back in the early 70's from what I'm told. I'm looking to find a safe way to clean the vessel, and hopefully bring back some of its original beauty. There are several things on the ship that I am curious about. I'm horrible with the nautical terms for the pieces in question. I am hoping that there are others out there with this model that can help me with any details or measurements for pieces missing, and the proper configuration for the lines. Up near the bullnose the wrapping has come undone. I'm unsure what knot would have been use to secure this area. The upper most sail looks as if it's missing a hook but I am unsure how it is actually supposed to be connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Thank you in advance,
Chris
