These are some models of Adriatic Sea boats that I have made. The sails carry the colors of the localities or the owners....

A seldom seen subject here. As I have a soft spot for those boats from the Venice lagoon and I will follow the progress. That book has been sitting on my shelf also for some time now - I think I bought in the bookshop 'Carta di Mare' in Venice or from Gilberto Penzo.

 

The 'Padiglione delle Barche' of the Museo Storico Navale in Venice preserve a couple of Bragozzi from the late 19th/early 20th century: https://www.maritima-et-mechanika.org/maritime/venezia/museonavalevenezia-3.html. I took a few pictures in case one day I also want to build one.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Wefalck , the book is wonderful, one of the rare monographs on Italian boats. I love the boats of the Adriatic Sea with the characteristic flat bottom and multicolored sails. I hope that soon you too will be able to build a Venetian sailing ship, the finished model will certainly not go unnoticed

I'll update the construction site soon 

For a few days now I have been working on the model of the bragozzo. It is a self-built sailing ship with the help of Marzari's beautiful monograph on this type of Adriatic boats. The hull is about 52 cm long and is on a scale of 1:24.

Last photos of the sailing ship, w.i.p. closed, thank you all for your attention and participation.
