Boat from Lake Peipus (Gdovka) by Dart - FINISHED - 1/24


Recommended Posts

Gdov-boat. Fishing and transport vessel from Lake Peipsi. They were built in the city of Gdov, where the name came from. A local traditional sailing and rowing vessel for fishing and work.

The length is about 7 ... 8 meters. Late 19th century... late 20th century. Since the 40s, an engine has been installed.

The boats had quite a busy life. I have an article about their history from the 19th century. I can post it here. But it is useless for most people, since it is not in English.

Nice looking small working craft. Weathering looks good but the white sail looks out of place(should it be weathered also?)
