Piet reacted to cog in SPERWER by KORTES - FINISHED - 1:30 scale - Friescheboeier Yacht
that's the bird, Kortes. It's funny, I'm reading a book from the Bolitho series where he is promoted to commander of a sloop called sparrow ...

Thank you, Carl, for such warm words.
Sparrowhawk.

Kortes,
Your boeier turns out really marvelous. I like the very crisp detail you have added to her so far, the planking, the caulking of the deck, doors, etc. It is becoming a truely wonderful representation of the type of yacht.
By the way Sperwer means sparrowhawk

I’m very touched by your attention to my work .

That gives your model a very pleasing appearance, Kortes.

I have refined rubbing strip.
As I don’t like to paint, probably because I don’t know how to do it , I decided to use black veneer instead of paint. I “painted” broadsides, remade railing, taking into account the width of the “paint layer”.

Yes, indeed, there are some similarities.

She really shows her lovely shape! Maybe not a coincidence, if one remembers that the Dutch have been wearing Klompen since medieval times.

My honorable colleagues, please let me show some transitional results of the stern.

Piet reacted to KORTES in SPERWER by KORTES - FINISHED - 1:30 scale - Friescheboeier Yacht
Yes, you are right, this stage of building was the most difficult for me, and i'm glad i managed to assemble the
broadsides well. Just like you, i liked this dutch yacht for its unique uncommon form.
My best regards Alexander.

The deck is beautifully done and the pins in the deck as well. I like how you made the curved baton for the bow. I am assuming that it was a difficult job.
I love all the curves from Dutch ships. It's what makes them unique.

Boeiers are almost never converted to housing. Too small for that, and their price as sailing yacht issimply higher than as converted ship. Quite a lot of them survived, as this type of boeier is relatively new, and they are still build (both wood, oak, or sometimes in steel). As they never were working boats, theyhave been cared for, and have a relatively long life span.
I like your model, it has the right atmosphere.

I'm afraid that the five pictures above just show up on my screen as tiny boxes with X's.

I had spent some time working on the boardsides, the adjustments had to be made in different levels and angles.
-
Piet reacted to KORTES in SPERWER by KORTES - FINISHED - 1:30 scale - Friescheboeier Yacht
Have set the boardsides.
I made them with some extra margin, having refined them at place. The battens have been bent before the installation. In order to install the stern I had to construct a small conductor.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the history of dutch marine. But if you would find this interesting, my friend
recomended me several sites, maybe you could find there the answers.

That is mighty nice planking! I wonder how many of these lovely boats have survived, how many restored or converted into house boats. Could you tell a bit more about the old yachts, materials used and their dimensions?

In order to proceed with working on the deck, I decided to finish working on the cabin interior, because otherwise it would be hard to get to it.

I have installed the detent pins on the deck.

Is awaiting the nailing. Before the installation of the detent pins.
