As far as possible, I will deliver a model of the boats that I made recently. Now I present to you a transport boat from the Flanders area, it is:
Hasselter Aak
It is a type of sailing transport barge, used in Flanders, with lengths that varied between 15 and 25 meters, initially they were made of wood and at the beginning of the last century they began to be built of steel with an engine. Its main characteristics are the flat bottom and ease of navigation through shallow channels.
Characteristics:
Hasselter Aak (Netherlands, Flanders)
Type: Sailing barge
Function: Transport ship
Length: 23.89 m (398 mm)
Beam: 5.10 m (85 mm)
Depth: 2.34 m (39 mm)
Total Length: 30.99m (516 mm)
Total height: 19.86 m (331 mm)
Scale: 1/60
Completion date: February 2021
The model presented is based on a drawing by G. Schaich (1942) and in the absence of further details I tried to follow the characteristics of the first barges, using photographs and film information from the Internet of similar barges. Simplifying, I inserted the plan file (jpg) into Autocad and redraw the lines obtaining the general lines for the false keel, deck and frames, consolidate them and print them in PDF and send the resulting file to be laser cut on a plywood sheet. of 3mm. The rest of the dimensions (length and diameter of mast, gaff and booms), etc. I obtained them directly by measuring in Autocad and drew them by hand in a workbook.
Greater detail, references and photos of the construction phase and the finished model can be seen on my blog:
