Ordered a 100mm Prop today. Looks much better on this big hull. The Motor is OK its a Krick Max Gear with 6:1 reduction. If the gearing is not ok I can change it for one with 3:1 reduction.My Workshop has much more space as I moved thing around. I have a big Metabo bandsaw and a brilliant Proxxon lathe. I also have fixed a rope train who can lift up to 150kgs.
Pic1: New rope train to lift things up to 150kg

Pic2: Makes mowing the ship aroung much easier
Pic3: The new boat trolley. The hull can be placed as you want on the trolley. And the deck will be level and the keel going downwards.
Pic4: Trolley with hull on it
Pic5: My Proxxon lathe...brilliant machine. It sits an a sturdy tool trolley with all my gadgets in it but tools.
Pic6: Placing the lathe on the trolley

The hull with its new red underwater color.....there is no exact match for the anti fouling color normally used, but it will dry much darker....I may need more layers of this wonderful acrylic paint. I bought it from the artist shop nearby.

More color found its way to the hull.....today the typical white triangle that most trawlers in brittany have.I used the artists acrylic color from SCHMICKE in Germany. Their Academy line dries waterproof.
Pic1: I use 10mm masking tape from Tamiya and normal masking tape from the DIY shop.
Pic2: 2-3 layers of Titanwhite and it looks rather nice. 1-2 layer later and its OK.

Pic1 & 2: Today I used a lot of wood filler to get the ugly things away on the top two planks....wasn't easy to get it right by hand sanding. I also have to redo the rudder shaft with a new 5mm diameter brass one. You also may notice the unusual way how the hull is kept in place by 6 adjustable clamps. The hull is kept in the right angle on the trolley. Helps to keepthings straight and upright.

That’s looking nice  :-))   The work bench also looks industrial I really like the supports.

Thanks a lot Mark. During my last visit in Brittany I saw similar supports used for maintenance work in workspaces in ports like Le Guilvenec.....

A lot of work done this week....I spent many hours in my small workspace. The result are very nice. I build most of it without any plan and freestyle ... only with this method I can put all my fantasy into the build.
Pic1: The first support is cut.
Pic2: Overall view.
Pic3: You can see the Stringer and its radius.
Pic4: Opening in the deck is big and access to the 2x 4.5kg batteries ist easy. The hull holds also all my clamps!
Pic5: Hull in full. I have to build an easy access door to the ruddershaft. The servo will be in the bif deck opening. The deck at the bow will need a special construction.
Hope you like it.

The next step was to fit the rudder servo (Hitec servo for sails) into a very small space. I always use the chain sprocket method. It came out rather nice but I worked the full weekend to get it right.

Thanks a lot to you all!!!  ok2 :-))
More work done today. I finished the planking of the deck at the bow.....
Pic 1 & 2: The deck is huge! I could place my small circular Proxxon circular saw one one side and work on the other one.

Pic 3 & 4: I have to take the radius of the deck as the workplace of the skipper must have the same radius on the roof/window section....

All planks glued to the deck.....
Pic 1 & 2: I may change the color of the deck....looks rather nice in dark brown varnish.
Pic 3: Sadly I tried to amputate my thumb .... just joking! ;) But I have a nasty deep cut in my thumb....will need some time to heal properly....
Sorry, no work can be done the next week or two..... %)

After a break from building the trawler because of my insured thumb, its alright again but the scar is nasty, I had the time to test my trawler in the bathtub. Everything is OK and only a few KGs of additional Ballast are needed. I think I used 20kgs
