The broadsides, in this particular case, were made from large battens. I will try making them again. I made a pattern, cut it and bent it under steam.

I have made certain pieces for constructing broadside. The piece for the breast, for the extra strength, was glued from several pieces, because I used it as a pattern for bending battens.

Have made a temporary holding frame for proceeding with working on the deck.

Finished nailing.
I haven’t finished refining them yet, because no matter how hard you try - there would be left marks on them, so I will finish all the refiniments before coating them with oil.

My greetings, Marcus,
Unfortunately, in my disposal I have only two sheets of plans, which i found in internet. Also lots of photos of Dutch yachtsmen are a big help for me.
Respectfully yours.

This boat has clean lines and you did an excellent job of planking her. Both the bluff bow and stern are an exercise on its own. I know this from building yachts and presently building a Boyer.
You are correct, a sperwer is a type of hawk.
Did you get the plans from het Friese Scheepvaart museum online or if not where?

My greetings, Patrick,
Thank you very much for your valuable refiniment, I would be very glad to benefit from your assistance!
Only doesn't "Sperwer" mean hawk, not a sparrow?
My best regards

Beautifully made Kortes
I can help you with the names in Dutch
It is : Friesch boeierjacht Sperwer
"Friesch" comes from "Friesland", a province in the northern part of the Netherlands
"Boeier" is the type of ship that you make.
"Sperwer" is the name of the ship (a bird, sparrow)

Preparing for the nailing.

Hi Kortes,
beautiful build, nice and clean planking job. I like the way you tacked the planks down (next to the planks themselves), so there remain no holes in the planks, Thanks for sharing....

Rubbing strips.
They were bent using the black hornbeam. I had to work on refining them afterwards.

Ver nice planking on a tricky shaped hull!

Bended battens were attached on the edges to the frame with the superglue and fixed with stapler. Afterwards, under the steam, I bent them by the frame of the ship. The “Dutchmen” are very roundframed.🙂

Only the first panel was set up easily, the rest had to be bent beforehand.

Covering.
The cover is made of 2 mm pear batten butt joint. I decided to start the cover from the keel.

The body is made of plywood frame, attached together on the board. The space between the frame was filled in with the aspen.

You're in luck -- we have a number of Dutch members on this forum, and some of them are bound to be knowledgeable on this type of vessel.
Cheers!

Greetings my honorable colleagues.
Asking the admittance to “the Dutch club”🙂
I have found the drawing in the internet, scale 1:30. I’m planning on working with the pear tree and black hornbeam.
I would be very grateful for the advices and constructive critics.
For the moment the model has a certain level of readiness. I will download the report in the chronological order.
I also wanted to say that English is not my native language and I would have to use the translator sometimes. Due to this the terminology and information could be mistranslated. In advance, my sincere apologies if this may happen.
Respectfully yours.

Piet got a reaction from popeye the sailor in MS Progress by popeye the sailor - Billing Boats - 1:50 scale
Hey Denis,
I finally made some time to log in MSW and get caught up with all of my friends builds. Yeah, it's been over two months but who is counting. Great little boat you are building, looking fantastic and nice work as usual.
Cheers,
