Hi there, this model is of my Grandfather's boat "Dorothy-June" named after my Grandmother & Aunty as you will see she won't win any prizes for being the best looking boat at the wharf ,one of your typical back yard builds back in the early days, she was 36 ft in length ,they built her at the Belongil at Byron Bay N.S.W Australia , in 1955 to replace their smaller boats they had lost the previous year when 99 % of the Byron Bay Jetty Fleet was lost (along with a large portion of the Byron Bay Jetty) in the February 1954 Cyclone, she was built to work from the Brunswick Heads River ( about 10 miles up the coast from Byron Bay) thus 1 of the first 3 boats to start the Brunswick Heads Fleet off .
Photos are 1- same deal the model is 1:16 scale 3/4" - 1' , As no original plans had to go by photo's (so tempted to put bit of kick in her deck ,but stuck to original look ) 2 - frames etc cut out 3 & 4 - Bow & stern view of her frames in position. 5 - Showing her in the centre , 2 of the others already build and been put on the site ....Cheers.....
