Modav Huntsman 34? fittings

[A Davidson 1Participant @adavidson1]

Can any of our learned enthusiasts help please. I am trying to find a source of 1/11th scale fittings for the Modav Huntsman. I can identify loosely the items needed such as anchor fairleads etc but as an aircraft modeller I really am in the dark as to the world of boating..

Boat fittings at 1/11 scale

[Malcolm FraryParticipant @malcolmfrary95515]

In the model boat world, many fittings go by size rather than scale since in the real world, larger fittings follow the same design.

1:11 is a very odd scale, probably determined by something that the designer had available. More common scales are 1:12 (1 inch to the foot) or 1:10 (handily metric). The difference for fittings either way is probably small enough that nobody will notice. Smaller scale fittings usually fit better, more room to position them easily.

As Malcolm says, fittings are 'sized' to the boat. Have a browse through the Cornwall Model Boats website fittings section which list a big range.

Thera are other suppliers as well which advertise in Model Boats magazine

There are fairleads here for example:

Incidentally, the Modav Huntsman kit was designed by the late great Dave Milbourn – see other threads.
