"HEMI-Powered" schreef in bericht ... Bouler added these comments in the current discussion du jour ... In addition to the discussions concerning leeboards and Bouler's neighbour's toy some pictures of leeboards (or ships with them) and 'sloepen'. In the old days the sloep (sloop) was used as a tender or sometimes lifeboat on larger ships, nowadays quite the thing to go cruising the Dutch canals in. They range in length from approximately 5 metres to 11 metres and in price from 15.000 Euros to upwards of 150.000 Euros. Some have been to designed for speeds up to 30 knots others are equipped with an electric or diesel-electric engine for slow cruising only. Here my first wooden model I made maybe 25 years ago. Same sort of ship. Hey, this is neat! Looks like mahogany, is that what it is made of? If not, it does look like an open-grained wood, though. Another keeper! Its not mahogany, I don't even know what kind of wood it's made of. But painting it with Boatlacquer ( I hope you understand what I mean) the ship gets this darkbrown color. -- Greetings Bouler (The Netherlands) |
