Excellent! A woman who rigs ship models may well be better than one who does laundry! ;)
Where I can I trade mine in? :p
Joking aside, she is definitely an asset! You owe her a nice dinner, back rub, etc. ;)

She is a HUGE asset, Dean - not only with regards to rigging or laundry, but all over. I will most certainly cherish and spoil her!

Dear Friends

I am very happy to say that the admiral finished the standing rigging today and for a better result I could not have asked. In real life, the rigging looks absolutely amazing and lends greatly to the overall appearance of the little ship.

Thank you so much for the very kind words, Peter! It means a lot to me coming from you as what you have done on your Bluenose is another league altogether! I will most certainly convey your message to Anna - for a first time, I think she did an outstanding job! (I am going to check out your progress right now!)

Beste Cees

Het is zo goed om je hier te zien. Gefeliciteerd met het vinden van een rustplaats in een museum door Willem Barentsz. Ik kan me alleen maar voorstellen hoe je je zonder haar moet voelen - ze worden een deel van de familie. Het is geweldig dat je haar weer gaat bouwen. Welke plannen ga je gebruiken Cees?

It is so good to see you here. Congratulations on your Willem Barentsz finding a resting place in a museum. I can only imagine how you must feel without her - they become part of the family. It is great that you are going to build her again. What plans are you going to use Cees?
 
Hi Heinrich, In the middle of a forced break in my project has allowed me to catch up with some reading. I so love the history you bring to your project. Little ship, BIG history. I was thinking, can you imagine if those sailors could see the impact their voyage has had on the world? I would love to see their faces if they were able to to see how maritime and general technology has evolved. Great stuff.

As always, thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much Ken. As you know, the research is to me part and parcel of the whole project. And in this case, the history is simply fascinating and has it all - from burning passion, human perseverance and resilience, to the whole mystery surrounding the name of the ship. I am very happy that you enjoy it as much I do. And as to the impact their journey has had on the world - I couldn't agree more!

Hoi Cees. 1:100 you are a very brave man to build in such a small scale. I am already struggling with 1:50, so the 1:100 is just beyond me!

When I lived in New York, most of the people I knew were Hollanders or Vriesk (Friesians). They always told me, "If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much!"

I have heard of this saying before - the South African Dutch are a lot more humble though! :)
