A Katwijk Bomschuit

[Stevedownunder]

Hi Jan,
O dear, I think this is what I would describe as a learning opportunity, one of the harder ones. I would doubt it means a complete scrapping just a bit of re-working.

Cheers,
Stephen.

I recently bought the new book about the Cogs that have been found and excavated in Holland. I haven’t really completely explored it yet, but can’t help wondering if the model that you are building (flat bottom edge to edge, lapstrake topsides) was descended from the Cog?

Roger,
I think the Cog is not an early version of a Bomschuit. It has overlapping planks but there are more differences than simularities. A few year ago I build a Kamper Cog and they are completely different with a Bomschuit.
Compare thes pictures with a Bomschuit.
