amateur Posted January 26, 2014 #151 Posted January 26, 2014 Another remark with respect to Dik: Dik did his research in the late seventies (he published his material from 1983 onwards). His main objective was a model that looked authentic. He used the Zweidecker as one of his main reference points. So concluding that Dik and Winter do give the same information is kind of circular reasoning.... Otte Blom was slightly more critical with respect to his sources, although he tends to draw too much detail in his drawings. (Some people say that he is suggesting too much certainty.) In the end, his main body of reference is the same as that of Dik and other amateur-researchers: Winter and the drawings of Van der Velde) I know that Ab doesn't beleive in this raised part between the 'schaarstookken, and therefore has no need to have an additional opart of wood fixed on top of the deck beams. Dik based his drawing clearly on pic 17 in Winter: there is the same construction shown: the schaarstooken are slightly raised ovr the deck beams, and in between the beams are raised to the level of the schaarstokken, in order to accomodate the gratings. I don't know what the real ship should look (after all the ship in Winter is only a model) Does Wasa give any info? Jan Quote
Drazen Posted January 26, 2014 Author #152 Posted January 26, 2014 Jan, I attached some fotos of Vasa. Seems slightly different construction than Winter's. Piet, avsjerome2003, Elmer Cornish and 1 other 4 Quote There are no boundaries... … besides those we set for ourselves.

amateur Posted January 27, 2014 #154 Posted January 27, 2014 Different from Winter, but still, also in Wasa, there is this raised plank fixed on top of the deck beam between the gratings. Jan Quote
Drazen Posted January 27, 2014 Author #155 Posted January 27, 2014 Jan, On one photo (2nd - is it on the lower deck?) there is an additional part, but not raised. I know we are again touching the topic: „What was or could be, but we do not have any exact 100% documentation on the 7P”. Still, if you look at my deck which I am going to finish soon, you can see the part between gratings which looks similar to the Dik’s solution. I decided for it since it makes sense to have a smooth surface in such a ship which needs high functionality and any obstacle could mean a certain hurdle in a battle. I will attach this part holding the gratings onto the beam on the same way as the Vasa had – with two bolts on each end and two in the middle – in total 6 bolts. The gratings itself seem to be nailed/bolted too (logically) but according to the Vasa – with very thin bolts on each joint and positioned diagonally (also logical). Winter’s model shows one strong bolt, but i believe this was a compromise of the model. Let’s see how small I can go with my “with-needle-made-bolts”. Till now, I managed 0.4mm without bigger problems - will probably need 0.3mm or so. Drazen Quote There are no boundaries... … besides those we set for ourselves.
mtaylor Posted January 28, 2014 #156 Posted January 28, 2014 Drazen, I would think that coamings around all the gratings would be commonplace. Otherwise, in heavy seas that water will want to go through the gratings into the ship.

Drazen Posted January 28, 2014 Author #159 Posted January 28, 2014 Yes, the Dutch ships seem to have some specialities - I have a feeling. My friend Mile Bijelić (who won gold on World champinship twice and knows a lot about english vessels) and me are often struggling if/when starting from the english way of building ships. The first I needed to learn with Dutch ships is – other rules and in my eyes – some good sense for simplicity and practical solutions for that time.

amateur Posted March 10, 2014 #176 Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Drazen, What part exactly is it you need a picture of? Jan Quote
Drazen Posted March 10, 2014 Author #177 Posted March 10, 2014 Jan, I need/mean the stronger "floor" capstan is set on. You see it on my 2nd Vasa picture, but I do not see how it has been done and how it has been connected to the beams and how the deck planks have been fixed (to it?). The Artitec model, on the first picture seems to have capstan on the deck planking what seems to me not really a strong enough construction. There, the deck plankings are set in the cross direction. Dražen Quote There are no boundaries... … besides those we set for ourselves.
amazone Posted March 10, 2014 #178 Posted March 10, 2014 capstan stands in e visser. same as the mast iht is e dikker plank than the normal dakplanking and go from one scheerstrook to the odder scheerstrook. Quote
Drazen Posted March 10, 2014 Author #179 Posted March 10, 2014 So, you say: like the solution by Artitec as on the 1st photo? Funny, the Vasa has the visser in the length direction bolted to the beams (as on the 2nd photo). Seems, both solutions are OK? Dražen Quote There are no boundaries... … besides those we set for ourselves.
amazone Posted March 10, 2014 #180 Posted March 10, 2014 yes i ges both solutions are OK from schaarstok to schaarstok are from beam to beam . Quote
