Carolus Quinto - Constructie
Construction
The keel of the Carolus
Quinto was laid up at the RYCG in 1998. The construction started
in all earnest in november 1999, with just 8 months to go until
the Défi.
Through the organisation of
the Défi des Jeunes Marins we received the building plans.
Because constructing a Bantry Bay Yawl is a precise job. Each
boat has to be an exact replica of the original. Only the colour
scheme and the soul of the ship differentiates one vessel from
the others. And the crew, of course.
First the
stringers are shaped:
- Take a steel
tube with a wall thickness of 5 cm.
- Add water and
a few timbers of 150cm x 3 cm x 3 cm.
- Close tube
airtight, and heat to 130°C.
- Open the tube
after 2 hours, but take care of the live steam!
You now have
exactely thirty seconds to bend the timber round an
earlier prepared mould.
2 timbers glued
together form one stringer. Repeat above 59 times, and
you have the basic skeleton.

You can keep juggling
figures like that, but it will never reproduce the atmosphere of
activity which ran allthrough the months leading up to the Défi.
20 youths helped Hendrik 'Rik' Morael with the construction, and
so learned the ancient art of ship building. The advise on life
by the master carpenter was thrown in for free.
