[maurino]

Start building a Genoa's saettia , merchant ship often used in '600 around the Mediterranean Sea. Here is a picture of how it should be (approximately) the finished model.

Hi Maurino

 

A really interesting choice of ship.  Should be great following your progress.

 

All the best!

I am sure there are maritime museums in Genova

But there is a small museum in Camogli which has

models and documents which may be of help to you

Hi ken, there is a museum in Genoa Galata, I also know the museum of Camogli, but in Italy it is not easy to get help or documentation museums. Only a few "friends" are able to get access to archival materials. The model ship is not considered a means of spreading the culture of the sea, rather it is considered as a game for adults I was a little child.

Here are the first photos of the model ......

I have slightly modified the profile of some frames to make the lines more harmonious, now I can move on to the planking.

Looks very promissing Mauro,

Interesting rigging with those latin sails

Thanks Nils, your visits are always most welcome !!! Too bad that lately I have no time to come and visit your models, I hope to remedy soon.

Hi Mauro

 

This is the first chance I've had to revisit your log since your first post, but I'm really impressed with how far you've come with it.

 

Looks like she will have a very shapely hull.  Looking forward to following along.

 

All the best.

Thank you, I hope that the construction of my model is to your liking.

[maurino]

this is a great subject to build. I look forward to your updates.

 

Thanks Brian, I hope that the updates of my model will help to raise awareness of a sailing ship that has contributed to the history of Genoa !!!

Mauro

[maurino]

Small updates ......

[Omega1234]

Nice progress!

[maurino]

Update of the work, the first layer of planking is almost completed.
Mauro

 

[Omega1234]

Hi Maurino.  Nice planking so far.  Will you be putting a second layer of planking on, or will the first layer suffice?  

[maurino]

Hi Maurino.  Nice planking so far.  Will you be putting a second layer of planking on, or will the first layer suffice?  

 

After you have completed the first planking I'll lay a second layer thinner, probably oak.

[maurino]

I shaped the sides of the bow of obtaining the groove typical of hearses, which facilitates the loading of goods. Furthermore'm reinforcing the inside of the sides with strips placed vertically which will then be covered by strips thinner, clearly horizontally placed.
Mauro

 

[cog]

Looking good. I like the strengthening of the hull with the vertical planks

[maurino]

Start laying the planking of the deck , I'm using strips of walnut that will be covered by a second shell of pine or oak.

Very nice Mauro,  I like the color of the walnut decking.

Hey Mauro, very nice ship you are building here!

 

I suppose you do have some plans for this ship, to make her.

 

Are these plans for sale via stores on the internet?

Hi Hans, the plans do not exist on the market, I used those developed by a talented naval model maker who began building a few years ago the same model. I do not know if he has completed the construction, I hope to do it ...........

[maurino]

Very nice Mauro,  I like the color of the walnut decking.

 

Hi John, the deck plating walnut is not final, it will be covered by a second shell thinner and lighter in color.

Mauro

[maurino]

I finished the first deck plating ...

I started to prepare the sails ...
