😛Hello, here is my Ton12. Built over 30 years ago and still going strong. Since this was my first ship that I built, I will never give it away. I named it my wife's name.
I also put my wife's name (Francesca) on the schooner brig I recently put in my Harbour.
I gave the model to my son so the problem is possibly his, but I don't think he will ever sell it.
Hi Flaxby,
Re "I named one of my boats after my wife and then got into trouble when I wanted to sell it. I still have it ! 😉 "
Did you sell the wife instead?😮😁😂
😎
I am happy that Wolle's model has been appreciated.
Two days ago I visited her Harbor and realized that the most recent comments were from seven months ago, yet she hadn't received enough attention (my opinion).
I suspected that the blog had escaped the notice of many and that if they had seen it, many would have appreciated it, in any case many more than those who had seen it up to seven months before.
I really think I was right, my suspicions were well founded, in fact after my message two days ago there have been many others of well-deserved compliments and appreciation.
I'm happy for Wolle, mission accomplished ahahahahahah.
Brilliant job Wolle, gut gemacht👍
Some good tips for my Billing Gina 2 Krabbenkutter.
Actually I believe that the registration number should be on both sides of the bow.
Two or three letters for the home port/port of registration and a number.
Ich klaue gleich deine Bilder, in der Hoffnung das 'Rigging' zu entschlüsseln😁
Cheers, Doug😎

Hello Dave
All good, I didn't feel that way. I had to laugh myself when I found out that the name actually belongs on the stern. As I said Dave, don't worry, everything is fine.👍👍👍
Wolle,
I didn't comment to be critical.
It was more of a comment on what my first perception was.
I'm used to seeing the boat name on the stern.
When I saw "Krabbe", my first reaction was that you made a tongue in cheek reference to your wife as a "Crab".
It made me smile.
I thought it humorous, and imagined the reaction from my wife if I had made that inference.
It wasn't intended as pointing out a mistake on your part, or a put down. I'm sorry if it came off that way.

Well, then my wife's name is probably "Krabbe". That was a mistake from my side. But my wife knows that I dedicated the boat to her. And I won't sell either of them. 😉
Hi Wolle:
This is my TON-12, purchased from a German sailor, more than 14 years ago.
Now, it sails under the Spanish flag and remains as agile and pleasant to sail as ever. Very good boat!!
Hello The shrimp cutter is from "Graupner" and is called "Krabbe" and TÖN12 is actually at the front of the bow. TÖN12 is the vessel's fishing number. I've included a link.
Wolle……….
It is not a big(long) model……….but the details are…………fenominal. As mentionned to others on this site some time ago……I cannot bring out any words to express my wondering
DWBrinkmann, the convention here in ontario, Canada, is that the name of the boat is above the name of the port on the stern and the registration numbers are on each side of the prow. Occasionally you will see the name of the boat Midway down the side, but that is less common as typically the manufacturer has put some huge deckle in that spot. My first guess was that Krabbe was the name of his Home harbour
When I saw you named it after your wife I first looked at the stern for the name ... saw Krabbe, and thought "WOW, he's brave". Then I noticed the "other" boat name on both sides of the bow. Very nice boat, I'm sure Gela is proud to have it named after her.
Lovely boat Wolle, and I do admire you for naming after your wife.
I named one of my boats after my wife and then got into trouble when I wanted to sell it. I still have it ! 😉
Good morning Wolle
I love the details on this cutter as well as on all the models by other hobbyists.
Simply the attention to detail characterizes the look of a ship and embellishes it . .
Keep up the good work!
Best regards, Michel-C.
Guten Morgen Wolle
Ich liebe die Details an diesem Kutter wie auch an allen anderen Modellen von anderen Bastlern.
Allein die Liebe zum Detail prägt das Aussehen eines Schiffes und verschönert es.
Mach weiter so!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Michel-C.
You made a fine job of it. Very nice model. A good tribute naming it for your wife - keeps the waters smooth when you need to do the flotation tests in the bath! 👍
My Artesnia "Heller" trawler is one of my favorite boats. In fact it won a piloting event (conning) while competing with tugs. Runs equally well aftward aside does forward.

The same goes for the Oceanic.
