Describe your company and organization and target audience

Hi-i am an author of a book about sailing--and I need to have a line-drawing of the boat that we sailed, with the names of the sails labeled on it and some parts of the boat as well-
So, I have uploaded several pictures of the schooner that you will draw---The drawing should be based primarily on the picture of Valkyrien under full sail...
I also uploaded Valkyrien 1, 2, 3, 4, 5---these pictures will allow you to add some detail on the hull that is not immediately apparent in the 'full sail' photo...they include the bowsprit, and the boomkin (the extensions off the bow and stern of the Valkryien)
The tallest mast should be labeled Main Mast.
Each of the sails should be labeled.
And you should also include labels for the Helm, House, Bowsprit, boomkin and cockpit.
I suggest you do a google search for 'Schooner Sail plan to get an idea about how it should look.
I also uploaded a photo of a Wianno Senior under sail, and two 'sail plans' for the Wianno senior--so you can see how to convert the photo of a boat under sail, into a sailplan...

One of the most important things is to get the relative sizes right--the length of the hull, compared to the two masts and also to the two extensions (bowsprit and boomkin) off the bow and stern.

Sail labels:
I am happy to help you figure out what sail is what and where the labels should go but in brief.
The furthest sail back is called the Mainsail.
the lowest sail on the forward (shorter) mast is called the Second Main or Main staysail (use both)
The sail above the Main Staysail is called: Mid Top-gallant staysail.
The highest sail, above the main staysail is called the Main Topgallant Staysail

and from the front of the boat--from the tip of the bowsprit, going back they are called
Jib, or Number 1
The next one is called the Staysail.
and the next one, the smallest, is called the Storm Jib



The design should have the following

at the bottom of the drawing should be written:


Schooner Valkyrien
Built: Charles Bailey & Sons, Auckland 1928
