A Campbeltown 80' siene netter built between me and my grandad, sorry about some of the pictures, i used my phone to take them. the real boat was built in 1975 by Campbeltown Shipyard for Jim Campbell, Lossiemouth, she had a 565 hp Catapillar engine and was renamed Arcturus INS.167 in 1985 and then Alert INS.55 in 1999, she was later decommissioned in 2002, the first photo, isn't mine i was just using it to show what the real boat looks like

Nice to see Cam
One thing I have noticed is the forward thinking
in the electrical dept.
Most build blogs seem to leave the wiring out
and the lights appear by magic!
A good pointer for newbie.

Yes they are but the one i have needs a lot of cleaning up rough edges ete but given time i will get there i also have a hull of the harvest moon FR but i believe she is now in orkney as norlatean K51

DavieTait · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2013, 11:05:44 am »

Norlantean II K508 wicker , she's just been sold to Whitehills to replace 2 lost trawlers and she's now renamed Beryl BF440 ( Colin and his Brother lost the Onward BF and Beryl BF440 in the last 2 years when both sunk , Onward to burst pipe or sprung plank and the Beryl to fire )

Worse things happen at sea

Cam Watterson · « **Reply #21 on:** February 03, 2013, 03:10:55 pm »

cheers Ned, we put the covers over the boats to protect them from the dust, because theres always somthing that needs sanding in there, some boats are lucky enough to make it into the living room haha

wicker · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2013, 02:59:48 pm »

Cam --she is looking really good can just see it ploughing through the waves--Charlie

Cam Watterson · « **Reply #23 on:** February 14, 2013, 04:44:16 pm »
