Who can help my neighbor

My neighbor has a model and from this model he like to build something larger approx 6 meter long. The model had 3 masts, but only one is left over and a broken one on the table, but he does not know the height etc. Is there anybody who can recognize this model and know even the name of such boat, and any information, he would be very great-full. Bert

 

Looks like a toy buccaneer ship → buccaneer ship → toy buccaneer ship → a bit like eg — 1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — etc... → buccaneer ship plans → toy buccaneer ship plans

I've posted a famous one on the thread: Frenchman sets sail across Atlantic in a barrel ! → post #17

 

Yes, indeed it looks like one. I first thought one like an old Scandinavian type. Thank you. Bert

 

Reminds me of the "Vasa" (Sweden, ca 1600, you can wikipedia it).
You might want to re-think this over and double check all the stability etc. before you build.

 

Among Buccaneer ships were captured Men-of-War, but basically they used whatever they could lay their hands on . . .

Buccaneer ship replicas and toys however are often too badly detailed to determine an exact type, as it's often just about the general idea . . . .

Willem van de Velde was indeed a superb artist. The detail in his paintings are spectacular. He must have been a deranged boat guy like so many of us here on the forum.

Thank you, yes it looks about right, but the front shows more like a Asian type of yacht. I am not going to mention what you said about re-thinking the stability. I know what my neighbor will say: Bert please can you calculate it and then I sit for weeks to measure and work out the stability. I did that for my own boat, what a job. I leave that over to my neighbor. Thanks for the reply.

 

Angelique Thank you, lovely pictures.

 

there was a fad in 1960s or 70s, or maybe it was late 1950s, of homebuilding "pirate" style boats of about that size. Fore and aft cabins and open deck between. Didn't seem to practical and I'd bet the novelty wore off fast, but they did have a following so who knows. Maybe they were nice for "picnic" boating, and thus quite practical.
I'd look into Sharpie and add a few touches.

 

The Buckler 24 (± 7 m) has the style, with bilge or a fin keel option . . .



↓ There are always some on the market in the UK





↓ Thread: Buckler 23' / 24': information sought





↓ The Tamar 24 has a bit of the style too, there's one for sale in the Netherlands right now . . .
