Hi just to remind us of summer days during the cold spell we have. Sorry about the audio but this is the fishing trawler I built a while ago - having a sail around the lake in South Shields. We didn't catch many fish that day :-)

Excelsior

Here is the last of the Lowestoft sailing trawlers. Model built using working drawings kindly supplied by the Sailing Trust. Model about 12 years old. I got a little carried away on detail! As expected she sails and handles well as all the old work sailors do.
Drop keel and rudder extension added when sailing. I was intrigued to discover that the deck winch was steam powered,no doubt to help with taking in the trawl net.

Hello,
Just spotted your boat, I love the gaff-rigged working craft. Built one, a Falmouth fishing boat, and I plan to do more. Your boat is very impressive, nice quality workmanship and attention to detail.

If you don't mind I am curious about a couple of things. is it plank on plank? Did you fiberglass over the hull or just paint. What kind of wood do you use for planking.

I to, work from old drawings plans with lines and offsets.

Great work!
Regards, Joe

Hi Joe,
In answer to your queries, Hull was built in the bread and butter system using deal sealed inside and out with coats of yacht varnish and painted using acrylic. Subsequent models of Wherries and Chinese Junks were plank on frame using 1/8” balsa strips sealed with resin,varnish inside and out, with again acrylic paint.
Balsa easier to work with to gain experience - reasonable effectiveness both in carvel and clinker planking.
All the best and good sailing.
