Laurence_B got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Yacht Mary by AVBiker - Mamoli - 1:54 - Semi Scratch
Great work-especially the planking-very neat indeed! Look forward to seeing more photos of your build.
I'm building the Mamoli kit and as you say-information about the original Yacht Mary is difficult to find.
Mamoli seem to have based their design mainly on the Witsen drawing,and maybe a sketch by Willem Van de Velde the Younger.
The model at Greenwich does have a number of shortcomings;there is a nicer model made by Robert Spence in Trinity House,London.
Here is a link to a photo of Mr.Spence's model : https://www.flickr.com/photos/69223798@N03/14226543172/in/album-72157644746542821/
Also-I found this image online which may have come from the studios of Willem Van de Velde the Younger,which shows an interesting colour scheme.Hope this is of interest.

So one of the items I have undertaken recently in building my Yacht Mary are the futtocks that go between the main ribs of the hull. This is because I am attempting to make this model admiralty style. Merry Christmas to all and wishing you all safe construction with smooth sailing.

The upper part of stern is complete. The "R" in the middle was a little problem. It is only 3.8mm high.

The next step: i have set many, many wooden nails to the hull and the stern. The scupper are made and the hatch on the halfdeck and not a companion hatch. A little bit of color is painting.
Next step is the decorationes from the stern.

Hi Brian,
Good to hear that your Yacht Mary is progressing-despite the house move-I hope that went well.Look forward to seeing your latest pics.Reading through the thread I noticed that you'd like to see my version,so here is an image taken recently.

Another update from my shipyard. Word has it that some early construction is being started on the hawse timbers and a horizontal piece that will help support those timbers from underneath. The yard crew is also hoping to potentially start making the deck soon.
The Mamoli plans I am using have one major error as you will see in my enclosed pictures. Mamoli shows the Yacht Mary having a typical bulb round English bow, which is not historically accurate. The books about the Utrecht (Available on Seawatchbooks.com) show and tell how the Dutch Statenjachts at the time had a more square bow, similar to that of the American Whaling fleets. Once under the horizontal timbers, the bow timbers would be angled in at forty-five degree segments. The Dutch book 17 de eeuws Statenjacht will show the same information.

The round gunports from Mamoli are not very good. I make my version, a little bit smaler and difficiler.
The plan from Mamoli is not correct. The print from VdVelde dJ looks a closed window with decoration and not 2 other windows. So my Mary is make as VdVelde print and Mary as museum.

Now the cabin is ready. The 14 female skulpturen are 14mm high. The windows and the door to the cabine are closed.

The Kabine in the middle of the ship has 14 windows. All windows to produce exactli is very difficult.
My Version is a easy one to made many windows copy.

It took a bit longer to finish than desired, but I finally have the second frame now in place in the stern. I am going to need to fill in some spaces around the deadwood, thankfully I have a lot of that saved up. Enjoy the pic.

Hello(sorry this is Google Translater)
I would like to build the Mary by my personal wishes and it for me still the Orginalität of the model is to be received importantly. The model in the Royal Musem Greenwich is very faulty and precise information to the Mary is heavy to receive. Also Mamoli is very faulty here. The trunk was built as well as Mamoli, nevertheless, coloured were chosen by me. The first pictures show the construction progress.
