Kinderdijker hoogaars

I first reported on building the Dutch traditional hoogaars on this website when I was halfway. (see below)

The boat was launched in May of 2011 and is sailing in the north of the Netherlands.

The whole building-story can be read and seen on http://www.bootbouwer.nl/hoogaars.html

Dear Wooden Boaters,

I'm halfway through building a Dutch traditional fishingboat, a socalled Kinderdijker Hoogaars.

The seize is 23 x 8 ft or 7 x 2.3 meters.

I use a plan drawn in 1863, from the collection of the Rotterdam Maritime Museum.

A log of the building process (in Dutch) with pictures can be seen at: de Bootbouwer.

Kind regards,
