Title: Graupner BG Daughter boat Lifting Mechanism
Post by: JaS on November 04, 2022, 08:32:55 am
Hello Guys
Really needs help with this..


Bought a second hand kit of the Graupner Bernhard Gruben, in the kit the daughter boat was provided but not the Deploy and lifting mechanism, i thought this was supplied in the kit as looking on the accesories list nothing is mentioned about to get it separatly.


Anyone that can point me where to get it, im sorry but I dont even got the nr of this, maybe someone have a plan how to build one ?


Cheers
Jack

There is a german site:http://www.jt-yachtmodelle.de/aufzuege.html (http://www.jt-yachtmodelle.de/aufzuege.html)They are quite good as far as I know, but I don't have one and have no clue how fast they can deliver. Nevertheless, there should be a contact on the website.Best,Joerg

Was in contact with them, fast mail response and feeling and got the feeling that this is a serious company, the could make one updated version for me to the cost of 119€ which is a fair price.


JojoElbe...big thanks for this, you saved mine day
Cheers

Hi Jack,good, nice to hear that it helped.
119€ is quite something, but if you order the GFK hull plus parts for the Gruben you'll reach the price for a small car at the end.  The Graupner stuff is cheaper but has it's limits.

Nevertheless, I stay to the smaller unit's without a daughterboat. And if one day I'll do the Schülke Class (19m 1960s) I won't need that, because at that time a lifeboat man went down the slip with a rope plus loop  :police:
So good luck with that!Best,Joerg

I have a PDF of the instructions, PM your email, and I can send a copy if you need them.
Text is in english down around page 49...  :-)
Also, the latch/release for the Daughter boat when stowed.
