Mfelinger Posted December 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Trabakul is one of my first works. I have a few pictures of building models and want to share them with you. Trabakul is the name for a traditional sailing ship on the east coast Adriatic sea with two masts. It is a cargo sailing ship. Trabakul are in use from the 18th to the early 20th century. and later when the sails are being replaced with the engine. Smaller trabakuls long as 14-20 meters capacity of 40-100 tons and larger 30 meters and capacity of 60-200 tons. These are old pictures of Trabakul from Croatian Adriatic islands and coastal cities: Edited December 22, 2014 by Matija mtaylor, tasmanian, Bruno Siljeg and 4 others 7 Quote My Builds: Pen Duick - scratch build, scale 1:20 Pasara - scratch build, scale 1:30 Bluenose - scratch build, scale 1:50 - completed Trabakul - scratch build, scale 1:30 - completed Gallery: Bluenose - scale 1:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanasis Posted December 22, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 22, 2014 Hi Matija. Congratulation, your model looks great.! I would like to ask you about those "cut stems" close to the masts...Are they a kind of vertical capstans (at least the one in the front looks like) or something else. Many thanks and allow me to place a photo of a "τραμπάκουλο" from the other side of the Adriatic sea.

Mfelinger Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks to Robin, Thanasis, Nils, Bob and all what you like my favorite model. Thanasis, you're right it's vertical capstans: your "τραμπάκουλο" definitely shares the roots with Trabakul and she is nice. regards, Matija. druxey and Mirabell61 2 Quote My Builds: Pen Duick - scratch build, scale 1:20 Pasara - scratch build, scale 1:30 Bluenose - scratch build, scale 1:50 - completed Trabakul - scratch build, scale 1:30 - completed Gallery: Bluenose - scale 1:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, the tiller is carving, but not very well: Nenad,Trabakuls are disappears and/or transformed into a floating hotel ... before they were also for the extraction of sand.

Many thanks again. post-7355-0-85640400-1419246476_thumb.jpg Do not worry Thanasis, I certainly amuse the forum members with his writings because I'm not good with English ... In the photo are bollards for tying and towing Trabakul. Trabakul is not bind on the rail if it was full of cargo and difficult because it broke. That is why bind for bollards. Towed is a small boat in the harbor if there was no wind, because each Trabakul had a boat. Thanks for an interest for this boat and my model. All the best, Matija.
