flying_dutchman2 Posted March 5, 2019 Author #153 Posted March 5, 2019 Thank you for all the well wishes. My wife had the surgery a week ago and she is already hopping around with a walker While she was in surgery last week, I stitch the bunt lines on the sails and now working on the bolt ropes. The masts and yards have their hardware attached and all the created blocks have been stopped. The leeboards have been attached. After using some search scripts in Google I found some really interesting pdf's as books and PhD dissertations about fluitschips. This will help me in building the fluit, the Zeehaen. Furthermore, after visiting many hobby sites for rigging material, which is rather expensive these days, I am strongly considering purchasing the Ropewalk from Chuck (Syren ship model co.). The Fluit is going to take a lot of rigging and I might as well learn how to make it myself. I tried to make a Ropewalk myself but it turned out to be a complete disaster.

Ab Hoving Posted March 24, 2019 #156 Posted March 24, 2019 I just spotted your thread about the boyer (I am not a very active forum user, I'm afraid). I want you to know that I appreciate your build and the way you work your way through the difficulties of Dutch shipbuilding. I am aware that these vessels are not everyone's cup of tea. I haven't build this one myself, due to a sort of program I more or less try to follow and the boeier, being a disappearing ship type in the 17th century, is not on my bucket-list. I'm glad you find your way in the drawings made by my late friend Cor Emke. He just lived long enough to see the book on merchant vessels and the reviews, which made him very happy. I'm sure he would have been proud to see your efforts on the boeier. Were you aware of the replica of a 'damloper' built in the Broek op Waterland museum, close to your mother's house? Another interesting project for a builder who loves Dutch vessels. I'm sure the museum has drawings. Keep up the good work, Marcus. Ab mtaylor, Omega1234 and Piet 3 Quote
flying_dutchman2 Posted March 24, 2019 Author #157 Posted March 24, 2019 Ab, Thank you very much for the compliments on the Boyer. I love the lines of this ship with all the curves. With this being my second scratch buuld, it has been a challenge. The plans are easy to read and Cor has done an excellent job of creating them. The future plan is to build more ships from the merchant book. My next two builds will be the ships from Abel Tasman from the book with plans and cd. I have always built smaller Dutch vessels so these two will be interesting as they are bigger and a lot more work. Furthermore, thank you for the tip on the damloper and I will definitely look into it. Marcus mtaylor, Omega1234 and Piet 3 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted March 25, 2019 Author #158 Posted March 25, 2019 All sails have been hemmed, and the bunt lines and bolt ropes attached. The mizen, spritsail and topsail yards have been attached as well. Presently working on the deadeyes that are part of the lanyards. The wooden template that have the deadeyes pinned to them is to make sure that they are all even. I use a hemostat to keep the shroud together while seizing. On a different note, Ab Hoving mentioned a damloper. Other names for this vessel is called a damschuit and damscut. After much research I got some info on this. This is a vessel 'only' the Dutch would invent. Completely flat bottom with minimum curvature towards the sides, small long narrow leeboards and very sturdy built. Don't know about the sails yet. What I understand from the literature is that it was used as follows. It is in the water and if they can't sail around the area it was hauled on land, pushed over a dam or dyke and back in the water. Like a modern day amphibian vessel. Would be an interesting build. Marcus Omega1234, cog, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted March 29, 2019 Author #159 Posted March 29, 2019 Lateen sail is rigged and on the mizen mast. I added parrels (sp.) on the mast as well. This is according to the plans. This was difficult to create as it is very small. Anchors have been created and installed on the bow attached to the bollards. Placed some buckets here and there (you can see then on both sides of the windlass) and put some barrels next to the store room. Pictures will follow.

flying_dutchman2 Posted April 1, 2019 Author #160 Posted April 1, 2019 The shrouds are installed as well as the back stays. The stay and the preventer stay. The bowsprit and the spritsail. Question : on the picture below, what the dark black stripes on the stay and the preventer stay? Are these metal bars or are they made from thick rope? On the Utrecht I used rings to attach the foresail to the stay. Rings will not work this time as the foresail comes down to the heart block.

amateur Posted April 2, 2019 #161 Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) I did a not so extended search, but thepictures by Nooms show them as rings (just like you did onthe previous one). The blocks for the 'blinde' are not on the stay, but on the preventer, at least, according to Reinier Nooms. https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/twee-schepen-een-boeier-en-een-galjoot/gAFvr6_AryFkuw?hl=nl&ms={"x"%3A0.47083735115099623%2C"y"%3A0.5291626488490038%2C"z"%3A9.213338350082639%2C"size"%3A{"width"%3A0.916224034672209%2C"height"%3A2.071658709627955}} Jan Edited April 2, 2019 by amateur Piet, mtaylor and KORTES 3 Quote
flying_dutchman2 Posted April 2, 2019 Author #162 Posted April 2, 2019 Jan, thank you for the reply. Now I can continue with the sails. Everybody else, thank you for the likes. The bowsprit has a kbob on the end. I wondered why this is so or is it a characteristic of the Boyer. Marcus Piet 1 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted April 5, 2019 Author #163 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Four sails are installed. I am working on the topsail. The rigging is not permanent yet. Everything still needs to be tightened. Yesterday I created more. belaying pins and a couple of racks were the pins will located. I have added two more racks with belaying pins as the plans do not show where all the roping is going. Sort of disappears around the main mast. Overal I am pleased with the model. It is a very unique ship. Marcus Edited April 5, 2019 by flying_dutchman2 Add Piet, Binho, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted April 18, 2019 Author #164 Posted April 18, 2019 Most of the rigging has been installed except for the 4 vangs that are attached to the main sail. Now, in the process of making the rope coils of various sizes. I will add a Dutch flag from that era. This is large model, 31 inches from the tip of the bowsprit to the tip of the mizen yard.
