D’après le journal du
chantier De Vlijt (“l’industrieux”) pour les années 1941-42, c’est entre
septembre 1942 et janvier 1943 que les ouvriers commencèrent la
construction de la commande 427. Ce numéro correspondait
à une série de trois dinghy 12’, deux en chêne et un en acajou.
Entre le 24 et 30 avril, les bateaux étaient prêts. 6 mois s’écoulèrent avant le réception du paiement.
Couts:
Pour la construction de
ces 3 dinghies, la main d’oeuvre s’éleva
à 414,82 florins. Jan
Berkelaar, charpentier expérimenté de 42 ans, gagnait 0,64 florins de
l’heure.
Le voilier C. Hali,
d’Aalsmeer fournit deux voiles au prix de 57,80 florins par bateau. Les
mats venaient de Van der Neut, d’Alphen aan den Rijn au prix de 166 florins.
La peinture a couté 200
florins et le bois 880. Avec les autres fournitures, le cout total des
matériaux s’éleva à 1814,58 florins.
Le cout total des ces 3 dinghies fut donc de 2229.40 florins, soit 743 par bateau.
Les 3 dinghies furent
jaugés en 1943, probablement au chantier et ainsi les données des trois
furent préservées. Les numéros de voile qu’ils reçurent furent 469, 471
et 472.
Numéro 469
J. Peters, de Sloten,
paya De Vlijt le 31 octobre 1943 pour le dinghy de chêne qu’ils avaient
fabriqué entre septembre 1942 et avril 1943. Le bateau lui couta 750
florins (340 EUR) et le certificat de jauge 15,82
florins (7,18 EUR). Son numéro de voile était 469 et son nom d’origine
« Stofhater » (« déteste la poussière »). Ce dinghy existe toujours.
Numéro 471
H.A. Burgerhout Jr.. de
La Haye paya 950 florins en septembre 1943 pour son dinghy en acajou.
Il a lui aussi été jaugé en 1943 et reçu le numéro 471. Baptisé
« Corelis Cornelisz Jol » (un corsaire du 17ème
siècle, dont le nom Jol signifie aussi… dinghy) rien n’est plus connu de sa carrière.
numéro 472
JCJ Ouwehand
d’Amsterdam acheta le 3ème dinghy de la série. Il était en chêne et
d’après le registre du chantier, il a couté 802 florins, gréement
compris. Baptisé « thejopie », il a été jaugé en 1943 et reçu
le numéro 472. Le registre hollandais des Dinghy 12’ mentionne qu’il a
été réquisitionné durant la guerre mais il l’a heureusement traversé
sans dommage car on retrouve la trace de son rachat en 1951 par M. EJ
Volkers, d’Amsterdam. Il l’a rebaptisé « Jolkert »
puis on perd sa trace…

According to
the De Vlijt (“The industrious”) Aalsmeer Shipyard logbook 1941-1942,
Jan Berkelaar, boat builder, started working on order 427 in September
1942. This consisted of a series of three 12’
dinghies, two were of oak and one of mahogany.
In April 1943,
the boats were ready for delivery. Between the ready date and the date
of payment was a period of almost half a year.
Cost
For the
construction of these three dinghies, the labor costs amounted to a
total of 414.82 f. The 42 year old and very experienced boat builder Jan
Berkelaar earned at that time an hourly rate of 0.64
f
The sail maker
C. Hali from Aalsmeer provided the rig for two of the 12’ for f 57.80
each. The masts came from Van der Neut, from Alphen aan Rijn, at the
cost of 166 f.
Paint was listed at f 200 and wood at f 880. Along with a few other items, the total material costs amounted to f 1814.58
The cost for these three dinghies was thus f 2229.40. Per boat f 743 (= EUR 337, or USD 450)
Three dinghy numbers, three owners
As described above, order 427 consisted of three 12 foot dinghies. All three were measured in 1943, probably in the yard, and thus the three dinghies’ data can still be seen. The numbers they received were: 469, 471 and 472.

JCJ Ouwehand from Amsterdam bought the third dinghy of this series. According to the data of March 31, 1943, she was made of oak
and cost f 802, including
rigging. The measurement certificate was also drafted in 1943 and
received number 472. Her name was “thejopie” The Dutch International 12’
Dinghies registry states that this boat
was requisitioned during the war
but fortunately it survived it, because it was sold to its new owner,
EJ Volkers from Amsterdam in 1951. The 12’ was renamed: "Jolkert" then
it also vanished from further records…
