Scale: Unknown. A modern amateur-made model of a Dutch sailing cargo schokker.
The model has been carved from a solid block of wood to which the deck and accommodation has been added. The hull is painted white below the waterline with the rest of the hull, deck and superstructure finished in varnished natural wood.It is fully rigged with sails. Noticeable fittings include a pair of wooden hinged leeboards and a large a working windlass on the small foredeck complete with anchor and chain. There is also a water barrel on chocks, a hatch cover for access below, a small wooden skylight and companionway for accommodation below, and a large flat rudder with a fitted tiller. A large sheave is fitted at the top of the stemhead at the bow which is used for lowering and raising the anchor. On the underside of the accommodation hatch cover "J.Ridderhof Zierikzee 1928" is inscribed.


The most distinctive feature of this type is the straight stem which can rake at an angle of over 45 degrees, through which the anchor chain was run over a large sheave.This design of vessel has been in use since the 17th century mainly for fishing in the North Sea and the Zuiderzee but since circa 1900, on the Schedt and the Waddenzee in the Netherlands. The distinctive flat bottomed hull and the use of leeboards can also be seen on the Thames sailing barges.
