Nice Work

I found out about a nice Dutch (Netherlands, Europe ) company doing their own boat design, providing the kits and plans, and even providing some materials on their site. They do a really nice job I think.

I am even considering to buy one of them, before completing my own design. Almost for fun and to get some experience in building?

Have a look, share your toughts, would be nice to find out how others think about this.

Greetings,

PS site has no english translation, I am shure they can provide you with some information if you call them.

 

yeah, sexy models not the easyest to build though...

 

You talk from experience or do you know someone who's building one? They shure are goodlooking and they are nearby! Think we will hear more from them.

 

only took a quik look and saw some primer, build with foam on frames than glassed or what?
a second look at http://www.dolphins-zelfbouwboten.nl/bouwers/horst.html shows stripplank epoxy, seems they have various plans...

 

Dont know what design you saw, they have different builders exposing their progress most of them are epoxy glassed over plywood, I know they also propose foam packages, so could be you saw that one. Might want to do it the foam way to for myself.

 

Their first boat released! looks good to me

They have various designs. Most of them wood, strip planked on frames, then epoxied together.
However, they are working on a foam-cored boat as well.

all looks very nice indeed.

 

Their second boat released!!

Wouldn't this be nice to have some in the US or other continents? For as far as I found those are the most reasonable priced, trendy kits I found.
