My work on the “La Jacinthe ” is coming to an end.

There’s always room from improvement, so one must know when to put the final point.

I would like to express my gratitude to honorable Masters, Dmitriy Shevelev and Slavyan Snarlev, whose work had inspired me to build this beautiful ship.

I would like to thank my friends Oleg Seregin and Vladimir Turbasov for the photo reports on the building process, that were of a big help for me. I would also like to thank Vladislav Stavanov for his help and support and all the Masters who paid attention to my work and helped me by the constructive critics and advices.

My best regards.

What a beautiful model Alexander.  The color of the sails blend so naturally with the tone of the pear and contrast of the black hornbeam.  Very nice indeed!  A true museum quality masterpiece.


Your build has been very inspiring to me.  You have shown how much can be achieved with little in the way of equipment - just ingenuity, skill, artistry and determination.  Thank you for sharing this with us and the steps of its construction.

In conclusion, dear colleagues and friends, let me express my gratitude

to everyone who followed my work, for your responses and comments. Your opinion is

very important and dear to me.

 I especially want to express my gratitude to my daughter-in-law Valeria, who provided valuable assistance in

translating my messages, my knowledge of English for this was clearly

not enough.

I wish you inspiration in work, my dear friends.

With deep respect, Alexander Belan.
