Große Jacht 1679 by Baker - Corel - 1:50 - from the Yacht D'Oro kit


Recommended Posts

The yacht D'Oro from Corel actually looks like the replica (called Sehnsucht) of the Great Yacht from the Brandenburg Navy.

This kit from Corel dates from 1973, the plans and especially the instructions are completely off.
Bought at a very good low price. If you really want to build a yacht from this period. For the same retail price there are better quality options.

 

A challenge ... 👍 ;)

 

I think this the only existing painting of this vessel

There is a model in the Maritimes museum in Hamburg

The supplied walnut planks for the hull will be used for the decks and such. For the hull itself, planks are sawn from pear wood.

  • The title was changed to Große Jacht 1679 by Baker - Corel - 1:50 - from the Yacht D'Oro kit

A challenge, perhaps, but at least Corel kits typically have good-quality wood.

 

P.S. I have edited the log title, including correcting the spelling of Größe to Große -- the first instance is a noun, the second is the adjective form. Those pesky umlauts!

Thanks. And the wood is indeed of good quality.

 

öß or ß ???

Neither letter is on the keyboard of my pc or smartphone. We do not use these in the Dutch language.
So I did a "copy, paste" of the text on the website of the Maritimes museum in Hamburg. 

A German museum that cannot spell a German text correctly on their website....😪


Btw, English, German...  never learned at school 😇

They are by no means unique in that regard. Misspelling one's native language is a shared human experience!

Here we go
The plywood is beveled at the keel and bow. And the new keel and stem are ready, these are connected with a scarf joint.

Test, pretty ok

20241018_170250_1280.jpg.816b887af8989b02c588495f62cebc43.jpg


Dry test bulwarks, also ok

20241023_192708_1280.jpg.48ab81c825f72e3ab3ce1b1aa69cfcfa.jpg


By using the plywood and the walnut planks as deck, I have to lower the bulwarks and the plywood keel piece at the top by 2mm.

I wish you all the best with this one! A brave choice to go for an (old) Corel kit :P but I think it will be good in your skilled hands :D 

I do think it's a nice handsome little ship when it's finished.

The bulkheads are glued to the keel.

plywood decks in place

To make this plywood easier to bend, cuts have been made on the inside

Now to do is shape the bulkheads a bit better and bevel them.
The hull shape does not match a Dutch yacht from this period.  But fortunately we are not building a Duych yacht 😇
