Hi Herman. Option 2 looks indeed very nice. How will you make the inbetween joint by that option? I mean in the length of the strokes.So there it is. I'm still contemplating which method I will be using:
1) the "Shipyard-method" :

2) the "Dutch-method" (I must say, more pleasing to the eye) :

3) or even erase all the lines and go freestyling with let's call it the contemporary "Vasa-method" (it might have been the wisest method at the time to economically use the wood available, but by no means easy to execute)

The individual planks will be joined by scarf joints regardless of which planking pattern I ultimataly choose.Hi Herman. Option 2 looks indeed very nice. How will you make the inbetween joint by that option?

Thank you for sharing your opinion. So I will mark that as method 3 for you Bela.Mondfeld's "Dutch" method does not convince me at all, especially since it is presented using an example that in no way fits the era discussed here.

So using both would be a possibility, with a story behind it; two possible ways of applying strakes, both feasible, also in the historical context of the 7 Provinciën? The idea intrigues me.I agree with @Maarten here. The shipyard version 1 will be the most efficiënt and more suitable with the shape of the bow.
I'll be honest, version 2 is more pleasing to the eye and perhaps the most beautiful choice.
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.

Sorry Herman, I sent the only information I have.Do you also have the planking expansion for the other side of the Vasa?
