  1. Hello Ab, New member here, but I hope you can still remember me. I have been following this a bit, and, since the question of PietFriet is related to a 'statenjacht', I wondered why you did not tell him that there is a very good technical drawing of a 'statenjacht' in Witsen's book of 1671. Here it is: It is the yacht Jan Ysbrantsz Hoogsaet built for the Swedish king in 1669, in Amsterdam. Witsen called this shipwright: "an uncomparable master in the art of building ships sailing the inland waters". Kind regards, Jules
