I recently came in possession of two models in certain states of, well, being. one is just in a early state of building, and has been in this state since as long as I can remember. At some point I'll start an other log when I come to finish this one. the other is also older then I am and used to hang in my parents home... until it came down. After the unfortunate event she ended up in the attic. After another unfortunate event about a month ago she is now in my workshop, and I hope to restore her to the state I remember. The original build took place around 1973 on board the ship my father was serving his apprenticeship on. With the two models also a pile of picture albums came in which found these two.

This will be my second build, after dipping my toes in the water with the Swampscott Dory. I chose this kit because of my historical interest in the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, and I wanted to build a ship more challenging than the dory but also not beyond my still nascent skill set. Clear and comprehensive instructions were also important to me, as well as excellent customer service. Kolderstok checked all these boxes, so I chose one of their simpler kits. I ordered directly from Hans in Dordrecht to take advantage of the customizations he offers on his website - a ship-specific paint set, upgraded blocks, and an oak stand. I was very impressed when the kit arrived by the careful packaging and the outstanding quality of all materials. I only found two other build logs on MSW of Kolderstok kits, and they both had similar comments. I believe this is a top-notch company. In between finishing my dory and waiting for the Statenjacht to arrive, I studied planking techniques with the fantastic resources here on MSW. As with the dory, I plan to take a slow, methodical, and patient approach to this model - the fun is in the journey! I started about a week ago and I’ve got the bulkheads in place as well as the balsa filler at the bow. I’m taking a lot of time with fairing as this step is so crucial. I’m using a couple of the planks that I bent with my nifty new plank bender to test fit along the bulkheads. So here I go - build #2!

Hi there; This is my first scratch built. I’ve thought long and hard about it and the last kit (HMS Bounty – Constructo) I built, I changed numerous items as they were not accurate to that year it was built. So if I can do that, I can build a boat where I am in complete control. I decided on the Statenjacht “Utrecht”, because I love the lines from (plat bodems) flat bottom boats. I bought the book on the Utrecht from Seawatch books a while back because I am interested on how they built the replica. In the late 80’s I had a friend who worked as a volunteer carpenter on the Batavia replica in Lelystad, The Netherlands and I was with the amount of wood that went into building that boat. This year I purchased another book on the Utrecht authored by Gilbert McArdle, also from Seawatch books. This gave me insights on how to build the boat. I will not build it the way he did it. I will not do a “no deck boat” where you can see the interior. My plan is add a deck with cannons and all the deck items, sails and all the rigging. I am getting ahead of myself as I still have to finish "The Royal Yacht Mary". I started by copying all the frames and taping them with clear packing tape on the basswood. The reason of the packing tape is that this tape will lubricate the saw blade at all times and the use of basswood is that this wood is cheap and once the deck is on you will never see it.

Many centuries watertransport was the fastest and most comfortable way of traveling on the coasts and along the big rivers in Europe. By towing with horses along the rivers and canals. By sail across the open waters. The statenjacht was the Rolls Royce of this passenger ships. Used to move fx company executives or other VIPs from place to place to execute their jobs. It was the time of the Barroque. So this ships were fitted out with most comfortable state cabins, bedrooms, kitchens, and last but not least magnificently decorated. At first I had in mind to build the HMY Mary from 1670. Only her decorations and paintings were very complicated. The Utrecht, however, seems to me a bit simpler decorated. Moreover, in the books of Seawatch books are very good plans of this ship. I build the Utrecht in scale 1:36. As POF model. However, I'm doing the frames of10mm plywood. Since the frames are not seen through the planking, solid wood is too good for this job in my eyes. Some shots from yesterday. Regards Hartmut
