Thanks Heinrich , in the future the Duyfken , still on my mind , both my wife and myself just recovered ( we are not vaccinated for health reasons ) from Covid a couple of weeks ago , took Ivermectin 12mg for a couple of days and Q-10, and other Immune boosters and are as good as gold ! So your own immunity is paramountIt is great to see you start this project Robert - I will be in the front row to cheer you on. I do hope there is a Duyfken-build also scheduled in the future though!![]()
Good morning Robert. Good to hear your and your wife have come through Covid well. A new project that is awesome- look forward to it. Cheers GrantHad to wait a couple of months for my next project , the Lady Nelson , she is tiny in comparison to the ‘Cutty Sark ‘ I recently finished .

Thanks Paul, It is a little one ( Lady Nelson ) to fill in time , I am running out of space here to display big onesPleased to hear your recovery news and that you have a new ship on the workbench. Looking forward to more scenic photos!
Thanks Grant , we experienced the Covid not such as a dead thread , just extremely tired as your own immune system is working overtime to fight the virus , and no appetite for about 10 days , with the alternative medications we got over it pretty quickly , both of us feeling fine now .Good morning Robert. Good to hear your and your wife have come through Covid well. A new project that is awesome- look forward to it. Cheers Grant
Good morning Robert. Off to a good start. Filler blocks on the bow an excellent idea. Cheers Grant
Soaked the Bulwark strips in hot water for an hour or so , and used an Amati electric plank bender to get the correct bow shape , they work pretty good , before installing them I beveled the bulkheads where necessary , I didn’t glue the bulkheads extension as they will have to removed at a later stage , using CA glue just on the edges of the deck where they meet the bulkheads ,you might notice I filled the void spaces at the bow with Balsa wood and sanded to have a nice surface for planking not on the instructions though
