Thank you, Grant, I followed Peter @PeterG's lead on this one. I don't really know how the bonnet is supposed to attach.Good morning Daniel. Rest assured your chances of acquiring future wooden sailing vessels is secure..Gazebo is lovely.
I love the bonnets on the sails- I have not seen too many modelers do this and it looks outstanding. Nice!
Cheers Grant
Thank you for your kind words, Bosco45. I am delighted to have you visit my build.
Hello Kirill, thank you for your complements. I'm afraid I have displayed my ignorance concerning the bonnets construction. I suspected there was a lot more to this piece so what you see is just a faux representation of the real thing. I do however much appreciate your comments and knowledge on historical ships, please continue to educate me when necessary.Good day Daniel,
This is very unusual way to lashing bonnet... bonnet supposed to be easy and fast removed / attached when necessary...
All the best!
Ps
Your gazebo looks great !!! Nice job!
Thank you, Heinrich. My wife and I have been blessed in many ways.Beautiful sails and gazebo Daniel. I am sure that both have enhanced your future modeling career considerably.
Do I have a Drabber if it's just one section?
Not sure I'm tracking with you Daniel...
Hi Paul, the picture you sent me has 3 sections, the Mainsail, then a Bonnet, and finally a Drabbler. If you remove the Bonnet in that picture does the Drabbler become the Bonnet, I guess is what I was wondering.
Got it. Sorry. What I was trying to show you was how to attach the bonnet. That's depicted on the upper right side of the image as well as on the bottom. The sail shown on the upper left does not apply to our Dutch-built ship. I actually see no reason why you should change what you have. I only sent this over to you because you posted that you didn't know how the bonnet was attached (in real life). My apologies for the confusion.

Hi Kirill, I think there are a lot of areas on a model ship that have to be out of scale (much larger) in order to be seen and admired. My personal philosophy on that subject is to put more weight on artistic license and less on correct scale. Having said that, my hat is off to all those who strive to stay in scale.Good day,
This is very interesting thing, bonnet... by my opinion, it could be more theoretical than practical question, if someone decided to show this arrangement on the model, considering of couse, scale of the model....
What I meant... in reality , attached bonnets , on the real vessel, it doesn't look like we could see them on the nice drawings in some modelling books... its funny in some degree ... when I try to demonstrate it on sails of my model, but results had nothing common with real appearence of this thing, but very close to the drawings in the books ...
what I think now...it could be more realistic imitated?
what if first to clue sail and bonnet together, with overlapping their boltropes, and than to make sewing imitating bonnets loops,how it shown in Mondfeld book... but it should be hard visiable, when made...?
As example, how it looks like on the real ship - Duyfken teplika... and my experiments... looks like I lost sence of scale here too much
