Hi guys... What boat is this?  I really like the shape of the hull.

That's the first RC model of a steam whale catcher I've ever seen. I would like to see more videos of it and to see it completed. It looks a lot like the "Southern Actor", a preserved whale catcher located in Sandefjord.


Hope this helps.

I must have missed where it said it was a Whale Catcher.... sorry! 

[Tug-Kenny RIP]

I Do agree with you.  It is a lovely hull, isn't it.

Still 4 steam whalers similar to her in Reykjavik Iceland , normally laid in the main harbour on the same pier they use for the whale watching boats....

Hey that is a cracker.  I reckon it's hull is similar to the Boston Typhoon from Mountfleet's range.

I know this sounds a bit daft but I couldn't really build a Whale hunting boat... I kinda like whales too much!

Go for the Boston Typhoon.  It's a great ship to build.

[Lash151]

Yes, thanks Kenny, I will have a look at that.  I ought to finish the Lifeboat I'm building first!

the best hull for replicating a whaler is the Flower class corvette, which is basically what it was......a whaler design put to use by the Royal Navy.
neil.
