Baltic cutter, Snapp Opp type

3D Model

Both archipelago navies had numerous auxiliaries and command boats in use. Little is known of these small sailing vessels. As this type of boat was clearly essential to the workings of the gun sloop and yawl formations and messaging during battle, one this type of small vessel was modelled. Due to scarcity of information this vessel was modelled after a known Swedish cutter, Snapp Opp. The cutter is rigged with a single mast amidships.

Hull dimensions: • Length at waterline: ≈20 m • Greatest width (breadth): ≈6 m • Greatest depth: ≈2.4 m
