Hello Herrmann, great work, I'm always thrilled.
Hello Heinrich. I have this book in my possession.Hello Herman? You do have Dik's book on the 7P, don't you?
Hello HermanHello Heinrich. I have this book in my possession.
But if you mean that I should study his instructions/drawings.. there is but one, very limited drawing depicting the planking of the hull beneath the wales:View attachment 398612
Also none of the drawings of O.Blom show the structure of the planking below the wales.
The planking of the stern as per Dik is not conform those of the Wiliam Rex / 7P in Batavialand. But which one would be the correct one?
Also Dik's interpretation in his drawing of the reinforced part of the hull protecting it from harm from the anchor is questionable. One of the contemporary drawings of Van de Velde seems to show a larger reinforcement between the lower wales and as per the drawings of Blom that larger reinforcement also continues underneath the lower wale.

As extensively discussed the building of a 17th century Dutch ship is always open for discussion and unavoidable free interpretation.
But if somebody has more solid information as to how the planking of this stern would have been done I am always open for suggestions, but I am inclined to follow the example of the 1:10 model.
It may be A primary source of A pinas, but that hardly qualifies it as an example to follow of how the 7P was planked.Why don‘t you use the planking method used for the pinas which is shown in Den Helder? I know that it is the wreck of a much smaler ship but it is a primary source.

Was ist Pauls Vasa-Methode? Gibt es einen Link?
Hello Herman
I wasn't in the least suggesting that you should follow Dik's interpretation - I was merely enquiring whether you have the book. If you did not have it, I was going to send you a copy.
What a coincidence, Herman: I am also listed, on page 212. Was in Amsterdam by the outcome of the book. Henk de Velde, the solo-around-the-world-sailer was presenting the first prints.He was one of the first group of people who signed up for this book, so he is amongst the people listed in the back of it, giving it extra meaning to me.
Hi Herman,
I have attached a planking expansion taken from the actual ship (Vasa). FYI: the other side is completely different. I understand you will add more 'structure' to the planking pattern but I at least wanted to share what I have.

Nope. Don't forget - the Vasa was my first ship model and at that point I didn't know what I was doing and why I was doing it...Thank you Paul. After I read the post of Stephan I did go over the applicable part of your Vasa-thread, posted before I joined SoS. You encountered your share of problems, all overcome and with great result. Have you ever considered at that time to imitate the planking pattern on the actual ship?
