Metal binding
I had no rod, so I had to cut 2mm of plate. I made it in two variations – steel and brass, after some consideration, I have chosen to install the one made of steel.

Zwaard.
Preparation works.
I cut wedges, glued them together for the fitting. After refinement, I used assembly dryer to part the work material.

Dear wefalck,
I'm very happy to find in your person such a wonderful connoisseur of Boeier theory, I have learned a lot from you and in
the future I hope for your help and consultatations. Not speaking the language doesnt allow me to read primary sources.
I'd be happy to get your help.
I absolutely agree with you on your point about the keel, I named it so just to simplify. Thank you for your remarque,
but i think the element itself was made correctly. The plank has a thiсkening in places of coupling with stems , and
in the area of body-frame it decreases in thickness. I made it probably half millimeter thicker than it should be, but
the difference will be cut off later .
My best regards. Alexander.

Very nice woodwork !
Just a little point: DE SPERWER, like many of these boats was not constructed on a keel, but on a fairly wide and thick bottom plank, hence such boats were called platbodems in Dutch. If you check on the drawing in your first post, you will see, that what appears as a keel really is only a thin plank that is nailed to the bottom for protection. Perhaps you should take away a few milimetres from your 'keel'.
There are other boeiers, however, that were built on a keel. The platbodems were mainly built for tidal waters, where they could then easily sit on the mud at low water, while a boat with a keel sails better, but leans over, when on the mud.

Very nice, including the tapering.

Dear wefalck
Thank you so much for the information. Here are some more pictures, that give a good view of the knot (construction element).Boeier captivated me by its unique, one-of -a -kind architecture.
My best regards. Alexander.

Normally it is not so good to show (modern) models to illustrate matters, as one never knows, where the modeller got his wisdom from, but all the pictures I have of mast tabernacles a cluttered with ropes and other stuff, so here is picture of my Zuiderzee-botter model in 1:90 scale:
Here the mast tilts forward, so one didn't need to cut out the 'coffin' in the forward cabin.
P.S. perhaps one should rather ask ?dondé? 1500 km (as the crow flies) from Enkhuizen gets you to somewhere in the middle of Spain or so ... didn't realise this before, but the morion in his avatar also suggests that region ...

Dear BETAQDAVE
This element is called uitvip (mastluik) The construction of Boeier has a possibility to change
the mast from working position to the transportion position. This hatch is specially conceived for this purpose.
The elemet that caught your attention is a removable cover of this hatch. I think the photos will explain everything.
My best regards.

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”.

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

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.

I had spent some time working on the boardsides, the adjustments had to be made in different levels and angles.

Keith Black 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.
