AVSJerome, I actually saw the ONrust replica when it was part of a flotilla of boats that sailed up the Hudson River celebrating Hudson's voyage of exploration. This was back in 2009, I believe, soon after the photo you included in your post. I had forgotten about that. I did NOT know it's history, however. Thank you. Amateur, What you write makes perfect sense. Tools to be used, then discarded. I just looked up "Batavia" online and have discovered that Hans has made his scratch built model into a kit that is now available. Now, I need to scrape up the funds. Thank you. Thanks to you both. a

To all, I appreciate the responses, and I did not mean to disparage the seaworthiness of the fluit. It was just in my, albeit cursory, research (i.e. reading on the web before posting the query) that it was my understanding that the fluit was built primarily for European coastal trade. Thank you for the corrections. And it does broaden the build choices a bit. I am surprised, that given the importance of the Dutch East and West India Companies, that there are limited (if any) kit choices. Dutch merchant ships (obviously fluits) brought hundreds, if not thousands, of colonists to the "New World." Maybe a kit in the wings for someone far more talented than I to develop? re: more information on the ship? I don't have any, other than it made several voyages between the Netherlands and New Netherlands, landing in New Amsterdam. Here is a link that list 81 passenger manifests between 1624 and 1664. well, if you go to www.olivetreegeneology.com/nn/ships/ you'll see the list. The names of the vessels are given , but no illustration or information about the ships, per se. Thanks again... And thank you for the links to the drawings, "amateur" . a ps avsjerome beautiful ship

Hello, I am trying to find a kit (preferably) or plans for a scratch build for an ocean-traversing mid-17th Century Dutch merchant ship. My ancestors we Huguenot who sailed to the New Netherlands from Holland on De Vergulde Otter. A fluit would've been not sea-worthy enough. Can anyone direct me to lines drawings/offset tables, etc. that have this information? Or a kit that I could hack into a facsimile Gilded Otter? Thanks in advance .
