I reviewed your profile back to December of 2021 when you began building Katie with just a preformed hull and minimal sheets of plans.
Since 2021, you have been building a number of vessels including several of Gary Webb designs and making an alternate version of Emma.
Youโve been busy making sails to fit these models too.
All this to say, the Dutch model isnโt your first โ Kick at the canโ. You have experience with making sailing models, creating plans and fitting out a model sailboat.
I was thinking you launched into creating a difficult Dutch hull design as though it was your first sailing model. Well, I am wrong, and apologize to you. I look forward to seeing your experience develop into something of beauty on the water.
With Respect,
Ron Bauer

I think that is a good 1203 plan by Jim Pottinger. He does scale drawings not ones with the hull adjusted to sail. So doubling up should work well on the water and be accurate as well. Roy

The drawings are from Sarik Dutch Yacht MM1203 Static Sail Plan However, these are for a model that is 18.5 inches long. So I got the drawings scanned and then doubled the size on the computer before printing them out again.
The drawings are based on the Vollenhovense Bol design - a quick search will show many examples.
I've kept a blog, which shows more photos.

One of the RC channels will control a motor. The keel was made in two pieces, so a grove could be cut, so once the two halves were glued together there was a channel so the prop shaft can be fitted.
The system works when tested on the โbenchโ. How effective it will be in propelling the boat along is yet to be seen. The hull shape is hardly โstreamlinedโ and making the hull has had its challenges!

Have been distracted again but now returned to finishing off the Dutch barge. The hull is now painted and varnished, have also made the spars - the next step is to add the fittings and get the sails fitted.
Will then add the RC equipment, before doing a float test, to find out how much lead is needed to pull it down to the water line.
