Before I built castles, I built sailboats, and I still make some small ones when I have time. Over the past few months I’ve been making the boats seen in this image:
These sailboats appeared in the background of Disney’s Tangled, and were inspired by Dutch designs from the Age of Sail. They were operated by citizens and soldiers of Corona, the kingdom from that movie.
The boat on the left is a Hoy, which The Elements and Practice of Rigging and Seamanship describes as “{S}mall vessels with one mast, that carries a spritsail, a foresail set to the stem, and a jib upon a short bowsprit. Sometimes they have a short mast abaft, that carries a small spritsail.” My model of it can be found here:
Note that this model is six months old and predates the release of CSG.
In the middle is a Galliot, which is described as “{A} large Dutch vessel, of burthen, with one mast and a bowsprit. The mast is supported by 4 or 5 pair of shrouds, and a stay which sets up to the stem. Over this stay is another, that leads to the bowsprit-end. Abaft the mast they carry a large gaff or spritsail, and over it a flying topsail, a staysail upon the main-stay, and one or two jibs on the bowsprit, Sometimes a small mast is stepped quite aft, abaft which is set a gaff or spritsail, hauled out to a boom at the foot.” My model is here:
On the right is another Hoy, larger than the first. It actually uses the same hull as the Galliot, but scaled down by about 25%. This made it relatively quick to build. My model is here:
All of these boats are free to use for whatever you wish, as long as you give me credit for building them. If you’d like to test drive them, you can do so here:
The Corona dock is on the left.
EDIT: I should also say that the script that drives the boat was originally made by Mark298, although I have made some small modifications.
