Welcome to the Forum! An excellent series of articles on improving and detailing the Nichimo
Yamato is currently running in the
Nautical Research Journal. Back issues are available for a reasonable price. The
Yamato series started in the Winter 2004 issue; Part 2 is in the Spring 2005 issue, which has just been published. (I don't know how many parts there are to be.) The Guild's website is www.naut-res-guild.org .
Hope this helps a little. Good luck.
