Craig, Great high resolution plan, thanks for the link. Do you know what year this particular Rattle Snake was launched? Thanks Allan -
Thanks for the feedback. I do wonder how laser cut 1/32 plywood would hold up for these stern and gallery lights. Allan

This thread got me doing some digging and there was reference to the fluyt like shape, but none claimed she was Dutch built. Everything indicates she was English built but I thought looking depictions as well as Mayflower II, the layouts might have some similarities to the fluyt plans. As there is no contemporary information on the details being discussed the fluyt layout idea may be completely off base,........ or not. Sorry for causing any confusion. 😀

Allen There are four Dutch maritime museums that I found with a quick search on-line that may be of help if you contact them regarding your project for a Dutch fluyt such as the Mayflower. Allan

Patrick Just tuned in and will be following your build. Your research and follow up attention to detail is commendable. Thanks for sharing your work with us. Allan

Drop strake can be seen below the wale Stealer aft

If you or a friend have a scanner on your printer, you can scan the images and print on label paper and use these instead of tracing. Quick and easy. Allan

Ain't that the truth!!! I imagine more would get into it, but no doubt investment in space and tools can be a major issue. Then again, for tools, add up the cost of 3 or 4 high quality kits and this would get a nice little shop going.

Hi Malcolm Really lovely work overall. Those laser cut lights in the last photo look nice. Is the material wood, plywood, or something else? What is the thickness wood sheet from which it is cut? The reason I ask is that maybe time for me to look for a local laser cutting person to give this a try. Thanks Allan

Welcome to the fray!! Allan

There are a lot of drawings of Dutch fluyts on the internet. I have no idea as to the accuracy including the one below. Allan

Hi Scotty Glad to see you started the build log. I really appreciate the story behind it and that you picked up the model to see it through to the end! For the future...... consider studying the hull planking tutorial in the articles data base by David Antscherl here at MSW and the four part YouTube videos on planking by Chuck Passaro. You can find them it on-line and in an old post here at MSW https://modelshipworld.com/topic/22975-chuck-passaros-planking-videos-where-are-they/. Rather than go into a long explanation, compare the results of two photos below. In the lower pic, note how all planks are tapered to nearly half their widest point and end at the rabbet. Again, this is something to consider for the future. If your model has two layers of planking, you may want to give it a try for the outer layer. It takes most of us a bunch of do-overs but gets easier with experience. Allan

Greetings, new to the site and new to timber ship building.
allanyed replied to Scotty W's topic in New member Introductions
Super warm welcome to MSW. Thank you for sharing your story with us! May I suggest you start a build log for your project text and photos. I would bet you will get more views and invaluable help should you request any. Allan -
37 pages of glorious information and weeks of pondering if transcribing them. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING. Allan

I find it as easy/difficult as carvel built planking. The only part that requires a good bit of extra diligence is the gain as the strakes near their ends. Which brings up a question that I had not considered until now and hopefully some member can answer. For the 17th century through the early 19th century was there gain forward and aft, or only forward? If the latter, is the transom shaped/notched to accept the laps to avoid gaps? Allan Gain

That comment brought a pleasant flashback to my time in the seventies working for PPG coatings and resins division and the various grinding mills, mixing, and filling equipment we used. Allan

I hope a moderator removes your email address as you are opening a huge can of worms of unsolicited junk for yourself by posting it. You can add your email address to your profile and PM folks. I am writing to you now as I live in SW FL as well. Allan

Hi Grant, Sorry to have taken the string off track....I just listened to the Fandango, it is great, thanks for the tip! Also - String quintet in E Op.11, No. 5 Very familiar melody. Allan

Hi Montaigne Looking at photos of the kit it looks nice. You may want to study the contemporary drawings of the 23 foot launch at RMG as well. There appear to be some differences in their modern day kit design and the contemporary drawings. Scantlings for the 23 foot launch can be found here at MSW if you want compare contemporary based measurements with those of the kit parts. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/33539-23-foot-launch-by-allanyed-bounty-late-18th-century/#comments Allan

EE My first ocean scuba dive was around a WWII submarine pier at the north fork but that was in '69 so I have no idea where it was exactly, but it was COLD in April or May. We got no fish there but we did get a deer (with the car) on the way there. Good memories for me and I am sure MANY more for you. Cheers Allan

LOL!!!! I need to build a 30 foot long boat, 28 foot pinnace and 18 foot yawl for a 50 gun of 1695. I did the drawings, now just a matter of making sawdust when I have a chance to get to them. At least it is only three, not five or six!! I am pretty sure I will be going with making appropriate plugs to the inside of the frames and bending holly over the plugs versus cutting frames. Still might worth a try cutting a frame or two to see if it can be done. I have some English boxwood that I am sure will work but not enough for all three boats and 50 or 60 frames. Castello might work, but I have some doubts until giving it a go. Thanks for the laugh Craig allan

Thanks Craig, I'll do some digging. In the meantime, I am pretty sure at 1:64, this method of construction will be a disaster. We shall see. Allan

Possible significant maritime find in England

Welcome to MSW Tom Allan -
Craig, My apologies if I missed it, but where did you get the amount of overlap of the floors and futtocks? I know I have seen it somewhere but can't remember where and if it was based on contemporary information. Also, do you know if this construction goes back to the 17th century or did it come about sometime in the 18th century? Thanks Allan
