A “dragger” is a fishing vessel that tows a trawl net. A trawl can be dragged along the bottom of the seafloor, just above the bottom, or in midwater depending on the target species. In the early 1920’s the Connecticut fishing industry began producing what is known today as the Western-rig dragger. These boats were not the first pilothouse forward fishing boats built in New England, but due to their small size, the design was affordable and perfectly suited to independent fisherman working the local inshore waters. These small fishing draggers were typically less than- 381 replies

1:32 Fifie – The Scottish Motor Fishing Vessel Amati Catalogue # 1300/09 Available from Amati for €220.00 The Fifie is a design of sailing boat developed on the east coast of Scotland. It was a traditional fishing boat used by Scottish fishermen from the 1850s until well into the 20th century.

While the boats varied in design, they can be categorised by their vertical stem and stern, their long straight keel and wide beam.- 42 replies

Hi all, When I went looking for a new ship to build, I got a picture from my grandfather who looked through the window of a ship's bridge in his younger years. Unfortunately my grandfather deceased at a very young age. It seemed beautiful to build a ship where he sailed on. An uncle of mine then indicated they would like to have a model of the 49 KW, Antje in 1959. My grandfather has been a fisherman on this ship and my uncle went with him several times as a kid. I have nothing promised to him but I started to look for information. First, I came across a book with the fol

I was contemplating which build to put back next........I kinda wish I could put the M&M Fun Ship back, but it's finished, and would be silly to do that. I figured that this build wouldn't take too long.....I guess I'm probably in the middle of it at the moment. The Syborn build is part of an experiment I was doing, taking the part's panels from other builds, tracing out the parts, to see if other hulls can be created from them. there are many hull configurations that a multitude of ship evolved from......and I got the idea from Billings. The Cux, The Mary Ann, and -
once upon an idea...........there was a concept to build three boats, all with a holiday theme. they were part of an experiment, to replicate hulls, using kit parts panels. in my opinion, it was a success....the M&M fun ship being a completed build, the trawler 'Syborn' well on it's way towards being the second ship to be completed. the 'Syborn' is unique to me, because it was an added experiment in making the hull longer by adding in copies of key ribs, stretching the hull. these two were created using the hull from the Billing's Mary Ann.......or even the Cux 87. w

Hello my name is Kees de Mol and I am from Holland. I build model fishing boats. Here I will report the building progress on the Scottisch Fishing Trawler FR-927.

I wont post a lot of text because my English is not very good but if you have questions or comments don't be affraid... Google translate is a very good friend of mine. It will be a static model not for R/C Regards, Ke

Hi All. OK hope I have done the title correctly. I have managed to find all my photos so will add a selection from the beginning to keep the log chronological. So please be aware, the latest posting I do is not necessarily where I am now. Currently the model is the same place it has been for about 3 years, yes I know I know, I need to get cracking on it again. Anyway, the hull is planked and fibreglassed up to deck height and I was working on the cabin. Deck needs to be installed before more work on planking. Cheers
