Hi flying dutchman,
Nice to see you like the old Dutch ships al lot..!
Woow, you are building the Utrechts Statenjacht! The replica of this is has a berth in front of my house!..If you need more information or specific pictures of parts, just let me know. Its a 2 minute walk to make the pictures.
In the summertime she is sailing around in our area with tourists and partys. -
Hi Bob,
Great model you made!.... Nice details. I have the idea to build the Spray from Joshua Slocum also. After reading all his books, I see Joshua as my hero! I'm a sailor myself and sailing at sea for 30 years . What he did was, in that time, an amazing trip.
After reading his stories I found lots of information about his trips, his boat and a very nice inpressive youtube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iciZer5cbJ8So, i desided to build the Spray in scale between 1;10 or 1;15 ( moreless between 73 cm and 1.10cm ) in traditional bent framing method. Many drawings are availible on internet. After several photos I made up my plan in detail.
And the Spray must able to sail with RC. So, the structure must be strong enough, mostlikely keperglass and epoxy inside.For sure I will make photos during the builing and leave some meassages and pics here on the forum.
regards,
Barend
