VOC ship The Prins Willem (scale 1:75) Year 1651

[GIG1810]

Thanks for liking and visit my log Gunther. You are free to use my sails if you need them. But remember my ship is not the same. But I put all the files in the attachment here. If you print them you can see the scale. This is 1/75
Success with sail making, if you follow the instructions it will be easy. I only had to redo the first one.

Hey Steff,

Thank you very much for your efforts and I will follow your advice. Yes, you are right, you have different sails than I do, as I will be using English sails.

Best regards

Günther

These blocks on the yard are big. I found this drawing online source vaartips.nl Tekening van Frederik J.Weijs

wow, what kind of huge violin block is that? It must be really heavy in reality?

Just goes to show how hard it was as a sailor......

Cheers Günther

This is a part of vd Velde drawing the ship Brederode. It shows how big these blocks are. So perfect to remake.
