English Royal Yacht by Ab Hoving - CARD

[Ab Hoving]

The gift from a friend inspired me to build a model of the type that is shown in the drawing. (See https://modelshipworld.com/topic/22309-what-did-you-receive-today/page/154/#comment-1083544)

Fortunately I have a nice drawing. It is for a ketch-rigged ship, but changing that into a standing gaff rig is just a matter of minutes:

So I spent a day to set up the basics for a nice paper hull:

So far I do not see any problems for the near future. Making a hull with this material is just a breeze. But the point is that I wonder into a world I know nothing about. A Dutch yacht would not have been any problem as I have shown earlier (https://modelshipworld.com/gallery/image/17836-satenjacht_3_lrjpg/?context=new), but about the English counterpart many details on the hull are unknown to me. And here (I hope) you come in.... 

Is there anyone who has clear close-up pictures of a model like this or maybe even draughts? Can you please post them here?

I'd be most grateful.

I have moved this to the research section, but if you decide to create a build log for this I'm sure we'd all love to follow along!

That was indeed my intention Chris.

Note that the plan has a second sheet with some internal arrangements.

Okay, I have moved it back! Looking forward to seeing how this comes together.
