Marcel2718 Posted January 4, 2019 #1 Posted January 4, 2019 My name is Marcel(53) and live in Zoetermeer, Holland. Started a Year ago with building the “Le Camaret” as a test. Now I’m sure this will be my favorite hobby. At the moment I’am half way with a model called the “Groene Draeck”. In Holland still active and owned by the Royal family. Great to see and learn in this forum. I hope to receive my new adventure soon the “Sovereign of the Seas” by Sergal. Sofar my short introduction. Hope to post some pictures soon.

spars Posted January 6, 2019 #11 Posted January 6, 2019 Welcome to this site. My mother's mother met Kaiser Wilhelm II and she says he mentioned she was a 'pretty little girl'. So royalty has some of the most beautiful works of naval archetecture. mtaylor 1
amateur Posted January 6, 2019 #12 Posted January 6, 2019 The Groene Draak was a wedding present from the Dutch people to Prinses Beatrix and Prins Claus. Not a very 'royal design', on the contrary, it was based on the rather common flat bottomed working ships there used to be. Jan mtaylor 1
