You should MAKE this as your first wood ship model, Billing Boats FD-10 Yawl

In this speed build video, I demonstrated how I made the BB701 FD 10 Yawl 1/50 scale from Billing Boats.
A typical Danish seiner, with a gross tonnage of 63.43 and built in 1929/1930 at the Nyborg Shipyard in Denmark. The ship was sold to the Faroe Islands in 1930 as the 'Sjostjornan' TG II. After a period of 20 years with various owners and names, the ship was sold to Iceland in 1950, and was now called 'Arnanes'.

Turned out really nice. I believe those are reefing lines. Telltales are for showing airflow on the sails.

@keithkempster5838 Ай бұрын

At 13:43, you discuss "telltales", I believe these are reef points. A telltale is attached to a shroud to indicate wind diection. The reef points are used to reduce the sail area in strong wind conditions and are laid out parallel to the boom.

Your video showed the No. 1 attraction of building ship models or any other kind of model... the sheer enjoyment of some quiet time in the creation of something really cool. Plastic parts?? Who cares? I, too, started in plastic, sitting next to my father. Even at my age, 72, I still get a thrill from holding the model at eye level, one eye closed, and making wave noises as the boat sailed an imaginary sea. As someone once said, everyone should have at least one hobby where people look at you and ask: Now how old are you?

Great video. Really enjoyed that. You say at 7min 30 seconds that you have never done "a perfect paint job" and were probably referring to the bleeding of the black paint underneath the tape. I have a tip that will eliminate this problem. Once you have painted the red colour and have placed the tape where you want the black colour to start, do the following to prevent the bleeding problem: Instead of starting with the black paint, paint over the tape line where the black paint is supposed to start, with RED paint. The red paint will now bleed under the tape, and will seal the gaps. Once the red paint has dried you can paint with black paint and will see that there is NO bleeding whatsoever. I have used this trick effectively even on an aircraft rudder that had a type of a corrugated iron surface and there was no bleeding that occurred. Try it, you will see that it works.

@@patrickfox-roberts7528 My brother obtained his private pilot's license in a Piper Cherokee 140 back in the 1980s. I found a Miniart 1/48 scale kit for a Piper Cherokee. Obviously it did not have the same numbering as decals. I went to a lady who used a machine to cut stencils on Tamiya masking take of the aircraft's lettering. These were ZS-IKY. The letters were about 1 centimetre high and about 2 millimetre thick. I used that technique in order to spray paint the letters onto the plane and also to spray paint the decorative stripes on the plane exactly what his plane had looked like. The letters came out perfectly with no bleeding and my brother was most impressed.

Fascinating! Back around 1980 I was at a Round Table National Conference at Yarmouth in the UK where in the Conference Club bar at about 2 am, I drunkenly became convinced that I was going to win the prize in the national draw being run to raise money for a brand-new lifeboat for the RNLI - so I only purchased one ticket! A couple of days later when I was home (and sober) a 'phone call advised me that I had won a model of a Brixham trawler, constructed and donated by someone from that area. I was delighted and - I must admit - surprised, and soon collected the vessel from another rather drunken meeting with Malmsbury and Tetbury Round Table. The boat was much admired, and I had a lot of fun with it, sailing it on the local park lakes - after fitting a heavy lead weight on a detatcheable keel to give it some stability against the wind. I eventually added a radio control servo below the cabin, and also made a long screw device to act as a sail winch so that it could really be controlled for sailing with and against the wind. I even let my children handle the steering device on some occasions(!), but the controls and the keel were later removed. The boat looks almost identical to the one you have constructed, with the steering post aft of the aftermast, although a lot closer to it. Sadly, having been on display in a window for over 40 years, it is showing signs of needing some attention, particularly the sails which now have some tears. I was hoping that your kit supplier supplied the sails ready-made and that I could purchase some, but as that is not possible it will be a struggle to re-make them with arthritic fingers. Should you wish to see a picture of my boat, do a web search for Don Johnson's Personal Website, and click on the link Boat Pic at the top left of the Home page.

Thank you, Don. Are there any more of those drunken meetings? Lol. You should be able to find a local model builder who can repair or restore your trawler.🍀

A wonderful build my good sir, and I agree she is indeed a ketch. I wonder how possible it would be to come up with some form of small beam trawl for her to carry on deck, a fishing vessel always seems a bit naked without her gear… One of the coolest models I’ve seen was of one of the company boats for a company I used to work for. They depicted her not in her pristine off the slipway state but in her in service state. With barrels of bait her hull stripped of paint and scared where she hauled her gear, and algae stains all over the hull below the scupper line. It was kind of striking to see a model depicting a boat I worked on, looking just about exactly like she did when I worked on her.

This vessel is a ketch. A yawl has the mizzen mast stepped aft of the rudder post.

@valentinionita4798 Ай бұрын

Well! The position of the rudder itself it is not enough to define a ketch. 1. The boat doesn't ha e a triatic stay that is characteristic to a ketch. 2. The mizen mast is too small to push the vessel even it is a Gaff rigged, and the mizzen mast has a rather, estetic purpose or for steering.

@ChrisJohnson-qm2qu 11 күн бұрын

“Yawl; a two-masted sailing vessel, rigged fore-and-aft, with a large mainmast and a small mizzenmast stepped aft of the rudderpost” It is the definition of a yawl 👍🏻

great video ! Beautiful boat and model. One little observation, I think the telltales on the sails are actually for securing the sail to the boom when reefed. Thanks for making a great video !

@EZmodeling 2 ай бұрын

Yes, thank you for pointing out. They are reefing lines.

@davidalexander-watts6630 Ай бұрын

@@EZmodeling I have always called them brailing lines - the reefing lines are used to reduce sail size, the brailing lines tie up the sailcloth on the boom.

@nicholasbell9017 2 ай бұрын

Looks great! I used to sail on a Brixham mule, 54ft on deck, smaller than the Brixham trawler. Yes, it is a gaff ketch, not a yawl. Both have two masts, the difference being that the mizzen (rearmost) mast on a ketch is stepped forward of the rudder post, and on a yawl the mizzen is stepped aft of the rudder post. The strings you call tell-tales on the sails are actually reefing points. They are used when the sail is lowered in strong winds so the "slab" of sail below the reef points is now at the level of the boom. The reefing points are tied together under the boom to tidy-up the folds of the sail.

Ketch or yawl, I can't tell - in Faroese they are broadly referred to as slupp, or sloop if you will. And they weren't built in the Faroe Islands, at least not originally, but were bought used from Britain and these vessels laid the foundation to the transition of the Faroes from a farming nation to a successful seafaring/fishing nation. Nice work on that model :)

Though nowadays yawl describes the rig, historically it was a general term for a hull, fishing boat or build. Why a relatively recent ketch should be termed a yawl appears to follow no logic, also FD is the registration for Fleetwood UK. Another mystery. With regard to the kit, and Billings in general, I fear that they are let down with appalling timber and fittings. Sometimes I use the hull parts as templates for a scratch build and use good timber, bits like plastic blocks are discarded along with the rigging line. An expensive way I know but much better results. You made a good job of this one, well done. If you want to impress at a 'nautical' gathering on a yawl the mizzen mast is "abaft the after perpendicular"!!

Not really good advice for everyone, as not everyone has the patience, or the desire to put together all the necessary tools and research to do a scratch build correctly. Even with a kit a wooden ship can take hundreds or even a thousand plus hours to build, and making all the parts from scratch and getting it right can multiply that number. Giving this advice to everyone making wooden ships would simply drive away 99% of the builders.
