The POF version of the boat.
 
All the frames in a large clamp. 




Left over frames that were either cut to the wrong size or are double.
 
For the bow of the POF I will do the same as the POB, which will be a solid piece of wood shaped to size and covered with planking.

As mentioned before I am doing both a POB and a POF.  I find that a POB is easier than a POF.  Less frames to line up.  I have been looking at another Jacht and the lines from the Utrecht are similar, so I will turn the POB in that one.  Different carvings. 
 
POB frames in a jig.



Template for the bow.  I plan to use a block of basswood, which will be shaped according to size. 

Self explanatory.

Tackles on a tiller seems to have been a common arrangement, at least on smaller merchant vessels, well into the 19th century. This simple arrangement with four blocks certainly was cheaper and easier to maintain than a steering-wheel that would have had to have guiding blocks in addition.
 
The arrangement with the tackles has also one mechanical advantage over the steering-wheel in the sense that you can effectively block the tiller in position, while still being able to control it, which is difficult to do with a wheel. Tillers typically had a sort of belaying-pin at the man-end, around which the runners could be slung with a half-hitch. This allows positive control over the tackles by easing the hitch. A wheel would have to be lashed down at the handles.
 
I effectively used this technique to steady the tiller in strong winds when boat-sailing by using the free end of the main sheet ...

I don't know what model this is, but the rigging doesn't seem to be completely correct. In principle there are four single blocks, two are hooked to eye-bolts in the waterways and two are stropped to the tiller. The fixed parts of the purchases are spliced to an eye above the blocks that are hooked to the waterways, then lead to the blocks stropped to the tiller and back to the tiller. Here, the loose ends of the purchase could be turned around the tiller, or around the pin mentioned in my previous post. They are not really belayed, but the turns around the tiller or the pin provide friction and hence take away some of the force of the tiller, making it easier to control it. In the model above the loose ends of the two(!) purchases seem to be joined above the tiller, which does not make sense, of course.
 
Unfortunately, I don't have a clear enough picture that shows this arrangement. Here is the only one I could find quickly:
 

Just for curiosity sake: there is also a sort of intermediate version, where a small wheel is mounted on top of the tiller. Here the purchases are continuous and wound around the drum of the steering wheel:
 

This gives some mechanical advantage because of the difference in diameter of the drum and the wheel, plus the purchase, but does not have the braking effect to seperate purchases would have.
 
Both pictures are from models belonging to the Altonaer Museum in Hamburg/Germany.
 

Aye, Nils and Patrick!
 
many Thanks for your kindly words!
 
@ Patrick   -   some years ago when I was modelling the Pegasus I had the idea to modify an ironing board so that it will be possible to go deeper as the normal way in using such a device.  When I did talk about this with my Admiral she has an idea how ti manage this. And than she said: you can get my old ironing board, and I will go to the store to buy an new one. She has an modern ironing board and I have a very good working modelling bench.

After several weeks with carving, I now again have to made some technical parts of the Utrecht.
 
First the windlass
 
On board of the Utrecht the catheads and the windlass are one technical system. I have made it from swiss pear, the rolls are from brass

 
It was no problem to turn the shaft of the windlass from beech wood
 

 
Milling in the tooth ring of the backflow barrier
 

In position

 
Finished
 

 
Best regards Hartmut

Some pics from the finished decorations of the Windows.
 

 

 

Now I have to carve some figures. I tried at first to carve the two sea animals which will "live" on the reling. They are not so complicated as the galions lion and the others.  They are named dolphins, but I think that they are typical baroque seamonsters.

Aye, Sjors!
 
Congratulation to the finishing of this marvelous model!  
 
And yes, she is a real beauty!

Hello Niels,
many thanks for your kindly words! And yes in the background it is the Gorch Fock. Its always good to look to the horizon to see what will be the next project.

Aye, IgorSky, Mark and all the "Likes"
 
Many thanks for your kind words!
 
Last two days I practiced in drawing Acathus leaves. Today I tried to carve the middle part of the decoration rails. Since there is now exact drawing from the original, I have designed it by myself.
