KORTES

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.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the history of dutch marine. But if you would find this interesting, my friend 

recomended me several sites, maybe you could find there the answers.

My best regards Alexander.

Alex, Your models are truly unique.  I study with admiration Your reports. "Victoria" is outstanding.

My best regards Alexander .

Соnstructed mastluik.

 In order to proceed with working on the deck, I decided to finish working on the cabin interior, because otherwise it would be hard to get to it.  

I have installed the detent pins on the deck.

Is awaiting the nailing. Before the installation of the detent pins.

Covering the deck.

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.

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)

 

 

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

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....

Hi Nils,

always glad to help.

Preparing for the nailing.

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!

Thank you very much.

Your handicraft is truly amazing!

The final belt.

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.
