Mmm Wish it was coffee and not rust stains from the crane they never use until it needs to be fixed for survey.

Here are a couple more pics that may help you all.

Thanks Glen
I must remember not to make the deck tooooo smooth.

And have plenty of brooms near by.
Thought that was something that the Submariners did, that is fly a broom at masthead.

Seriously what is the crane used for.

Judging by the coffee stains it wouldn't want to used to it's limit unless it has a high safety factor.

We had a stainless steel crane on the Minehunter

no rust and ours got used all the time

Flying a broom is used to boast of a "Clean Sweep" ie all torpedoes fired scoring a hit. Not sure but I think it may have started as a Yank tradition.

mmmm

be rest assured RaaArtyGunner

1. The deck is high tensile aluminium plate to AS Wopply Wop & the anti-skid ablative coating is only stained...by the metallic rust from above
2. I understand that the lower steel plate structure of the electro/hydraulic hoist [which is depicted with surface corrosion] is from AS ....Grade 350 plate & with a 4:1 FOS on yield in the Naval design Standards = 1400 Mpa stress within the structure prior to failure

The structure if maintained........

will never fracture or fail..............Derek

Derek,

Now there be the question for a land lubber, if maintained, and I specifically noticed all the coffee on the cables and pulley/wheels on the crane?

But what does it lift?

derekwarner · « **Reply #56 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:34:30 am »

...

1. the coffee stains on the cables [wires] are I suspect are a combination of Copper Kote & Denso + fish oil

2. the SWL lifting capacity is clearly shown as 850kg @ 6.5M reach ...if they would only bring the TV series back ....we could see.

........did the crane lift the Zodiacs back on board?

3. one must remember an RAN vessel on deployment

may not have sufficient time in port when refueling to attend to minor blemishes & cosmetic surface corrosion
4. naturally these issues are rectified during periods of refit ..........Derek

RaaArtyGunner · « **Reply #58 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:54:27 am »

Derek,

Thanks, just thought it was a bit of overkill, if only to lift the Zodiacs, unless, even with 6.5 metre reach, the Zodiacs all up weight is sizeable.

Can't have been doing much "launching/retrieval" as in the TV series else the cables would be "polished bright" with use.

Probably because it moves they salute it

Now Ya know i ain't a sailor boy.

Hi Brian,

The trimm and the rudder made of circuit PCB (3mm thik) fiberglass - the copper film was removed.
The stairs is made also fiberglass but it is only 1mm thik.

Hi for All,

I could work my boat again - just four tube but they look good.
And here is something other ...
I designed a circuit for my scale boats - and use one of them a few month in another boat.
It is a PIC controlled circuit. There are 10 LED output - one of the PWM for flash imitation - 5 high current output - one of the PWM for motors, or any other thing - a foghorn and an alarm siren.
A power supply with BEC.
These outputs are controlled maximum 3 Rx chanel.

I am not surprised that there have been no replies to your last post Laszlo.
I, for one, am speechless at your abilities and the beautyful layout.

spenyo · « **Reply #63 on:** February 22, 2012, 09:38:15 pm »

Hi,

I put these pictures for those who want to build the circuit. I share the plan and the program with pleasure.
It is possible to use it for any kind of boat - cargo-, war- or any other type.
There is a jumper on the PCB which allow to programming the board for two boat type - eg. there is no alarm siren on a cargo ship, or no need all channel to a simple speed boat - and to switch between the two program is just simple put the jumper to the other side.

Hi for All,

Peter, thanks but I could make my account.
I have some new pictures. We start to make the parts of the deck and the bridge.
And another news - and pictures - that a young member of our club start to build a new "Fremantle".

Laszlo

BrianB6 · « **Reply #65 on:** March 22, 2012, 10:32:31 pm »

Beautyful work by both of you.
That Bofors is a work of art. I know having built 2 of them for my 'Dorina' corvette.

I agree completely

I'm glad you got your account sorted Laszlo, I couldn't help as I could not get to a computer.

Peter.

Hi,

I'm working on dinghy's cranes. Some pictures about them ....

I suppose this means Glen and I will have to start building them as well.

There was my club's spring regatta in the City Park again. Here are some pictures about it.
