Photos of the Duyfken 1606 Replica

A while ago I talked to one of the carpenters who built the Replica. He told me that despite every effort they could not manage to build the hull completely symmetrically, so a 250 mm discrepancy in the cross section applies... And on the maiden voyage the main stay snapped on the open ocean - there must have been a bit of disaster there...

I do not measure people's reliability by measuring tape. I accept facts if provided until proven otherwise and do not question them for the sake of a few dots...
