The rigging is very much simplified compared to the Hebridean / Viking knarr that it's based upon. The sail is made from an old piece of handkerchief. I had originally planned to paint the sail with PVA to stiffen it and then paint it but I'm quite pleased with the effect as it is.
The model has a rather dodgy-looking rudder with no visible means of attaching the tiller so I've added a home-made Viking-style steerboard made from a carved matchstick and some brass rod.
