Model Comment:
"Reference to Model 121 was added by CvdL because overlaying a photo of this model with the rowboats on plan 28-1 (Yacht's Yawl Boats from 1882), suitably stretched or shrunk along the x-axis to account for different frame spacing, shows an almost perfect match in outlines and leads to the conclusion that the dinghies on plan 28-1 (and on plan 28-7 which refers to it) were built from model 121." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. October 26, 2009.)
Note: Vessels that appear in the records as not built, a cancelled contract, a study model, or as a model sailboat are listed but not counted in the list of vessels built from a model.
