Good day, Dear Fred, Is there information / sugestions /or even findings how Vasa's anchor bouy could be looks like and how it could be constructed? I saw only small drawing and very short description in B.Landstrom book ...is it correct info for making model of the anchor bouy for the Vasa model ?

Hi Fred, Thank you very much for the answer, now is clear! ...which kind of underwater protection will be implemented, great depends on operational area of the vessel. Thanks also for interesting facts abt employing second layers in Swedish navy/ and abt Scepter . All the Best ! Kirill

Good day, Dear Fred, please,when You have time, give a light on Vasa's underwater planking protection arrangements , did they use a few layers of planks and sacrificial sheathing to cover under water part of the hull ? if yes,could it be arranged in the same way as it was found on remains of Warwick,early 17th-century English shipwreck in Castle Harbour, Bermuda?(there is a fragment from report in atrach)... or it was made in different way? or no several layers of planking at all? I saw in Batavia shipwreck study, THE BATAVIA SHIPWRECK: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF AN EARLY SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY DUTCH EAST INDIAMAN A Dissertation by WENDY VAN DUIVENVOORDE, that VOC ships in 17 century used to protect under water part of their vessel almost the same way as it was found on Warwick shipwreak... Just very interesting now, how it was situation with Vasa in this? Thank You very much in advance. Kirill Attachments:

Good day, Dear Fred, could You please say a few words when You have time, abt boat windlass construction , I mean how it was installed and kept in working position inside boat?... * are there wholes in boat planking arranged for windlass ends or there were special reinforcement (kind of flat piece of wood attached inboard to planking) with recess to receive windlass circular ends? * was windlass removable or permanently fixed inside boat? if it was removable, how ? on the VASA boat fotoes I' ve seen , ... can't find clear answer ... Many Thanks in advance Kirill

Good day, Dear Fred, Thanks a lot for your explanation...there is the sence if the mizzen stay collar was nailed to keep lower block offset to ps...! We discussed this issue on the other forum, but at the end had only suggestions how it will work, but the only facts ,that on the famous models, such as Wiliam Rex for example, or in Albom de Colbert book, there is clear main halliard knight location straight on the line with main mast...and the same location of the fore halliard knight as we can see on the Vasa -off the line of the fore mast, ps or sbs... And now, on the Vasa - I can see real position of this main halliard knight,this is the fact! I' m risking to suggest that may be there were slings in use ,to keep the main yard in hauled up ( working)position...in such case tie halliard could be slucken a little bit,and stay away from mizzen stay hoist,at least eccessive friction could be avoided...I see on the reconstructed Vasa rigging plan, main sail and fore sail martnets tackles arranged in such way ,that this sails could be furled without lowering yards to the deck,and in such case it is not ness-ry to operate tie halliard very often and keep them st -by/ toghtened... Dear Fred, could you advise how it is arranged on the Kalmar Nyckel replica -location of main tie halliard and how the mizzen stay works with it? Thanks in advance Brgds! Kirill

Thanks Reinhard, I didn,t see it... ah,is it clear now,Fred advised to place mizen stay collar block slightly offset to ps to give room for the main halliard...same position I saw on the Clayton model...but still don't understand how it will stay in this position when mizen stay became tightened? than,as seems to me, it will be forced to move to the mast central line and crossed with main halliard...? I mean, on the real ship...or collar need to be nailed to the mast? Fred mentioned nail holes... nails for collar,or for collar stopper? like a piece of wood,to prevent collar vertical movement...?
Best regards, Kirill

Dear friends, I would be very grateful if someone could enlighten me on the following question: how the main tie hallyard are working when the main sail knight is located on the center line of the main mast as it could be seen on Vasa??? Considering that with this arrangement the main tie halyard will intersect with the mizzen stay hoist ? As I could see, on Batavia replica, main knight shifted slightly to sbs ,so the mizen stay and main tie halyard don't cross/disturb each other... but on the William Rex model, the position of the main knight same as on the Vasa -center line of the Main mast,and as I could see ,there is a break in the halyard when they pass through the hole in the grating...seems to me, such things quite acceptable on the model, but how it will work on the real ship... It would be just great if Fred shared his observations about how this is organized on the replica of Kalmar Nyckel?

insert code here Good day, Dear friends, Do smbd know abt this model? Recently I've found these pictures, ... model rigging and spars looks in perfect condition, as well as model itself... Would be great to know more abt this model...is it original rigging, or was it restored recently? Everything looks very accurate! As I could understood, this model mentioned in Peter Kirsch book "The galleon"... I will be very greatful for any relevant info abt this model. Thanks in advance! Kirill Attachments:
