| 3 forum posts 13 photos | Hello, This is my first post on here so I thought that as I am building a new model that I would share it with you all. I am a full time commercial fisherman from Lowestoft (Pictures of my boat are attached), she is a 32 foot Scottish wooden built trawler/potter that I use for longlining and netting.She is Larch on Oak and weighs 11 tons. I also take out angling parties at weekends too.     When im not doing all of this, I like to make some progress on the Model Slipway kit that my partner bought for my christmas present. I wont go into detail about the kit as it has been covered at length elsewhere but here are some pictures of the progress since christmas day. The Hull size with my 2 year old daughter sitting in it!!!  Bow Thruster tube in place   Stern/Running gear glassed in   Rudder/Kort Nozzle/Etc   Size of Hull  As you can see, I have also cut out the space for the anchor box in the forward hull and the stern net appetures too. Next will be the bilge keels, anchor box construction and filling around the skeg/kort Nozzle, etc before the main deck beams go in. I hope you enjoy my build thread.

Thanks for posting these photos. I think quite a lot of people will be very interested in seeing your build thread of Model Slipway's latest kit as it has attracted quite a lot of comment already.
Your comments as a professional fisherman yourself should also be illuminating.

 22 forum posts 4 photos | PLease keep us up to date with pics etc (will the crew stay on board as you build the superstructure around her)
Also some pictures of the wheel house of your fishing boat would be very useful to show us folk what you have in there (I'm building one my self so some details would be great)
Keep up the good work.

Make your own contribution to the Website
We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
