About this boat

This boat is scratch build, 60 cm.
The original was used to handle the fishing of hering in the Zuidersee. They used fish traps, but after the Zuidersee was closed by a dike and renamed in IJselmeer the hering fishing had to stop.
I used original wood like oak and spruce. The rowing function is done with 4 servo's and an electrical conductor (https://momo-sauerland.de/index.php/modellbau/spezial-losungen/) that allows all rowing functions. On the Sender I only use 2 chanels, forward-rear and left-right.

    It is interesting that this models’ design is similar to what is used in the fishing industry on the East coast of North America .
