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.

Again not much time (I hear to much often "Stephan? ....")
But between all the household keeping and other things in, a small update for now.

pictures say everything



And I need rope, my stock is slinking.

The keen observer will have noticed that the thin rope is LH rope and not RH. This is because I use Serafil rope for 0.18 and 0.24 mm, which is 120/2 yarn. When I make 2x1 or 3x1 rope from this, I can only twist it LH. The yarn consists of two 120 thickness yarns that are RH twisted. If I use more yarns per skein, this is possible and will produce a nice result. The fact that the thin one has the wrong twist is hardly noticeable to the naked eye, only in the macro photo. I have Skala available and I could make it with that, as well as RH.
