Hi there, this one is a bit different ,not a new build , this model was made by my Father back in 1956 prior to building his first small trap prawn trawler in the backyard at their Byron Bay residence, when he did build the trawler a couple yrs later she wasn't exact to the model but similar style, so after many yrs of kids breaking stuff (me
) and stuck away in the shed ,she came under a bit of damage, the first section of photos I am putting up is the condition she was in before I started to re furbish her.

Myself with my 2 sisters with the model in 1963.
