FD 10 Arnanes -YAWL

FD 10 Arnanes -YAWL construction kit

This fishing dinghy was built in the Faroe Islands at the end of the 1930s. The Faroese boat is actually not a local type, although this was very popular on the islands, but it is an English boat. The FD 10 is rigged with an English cutter rig. The English sold these boats to the Faroe Islands, Icelanders, Norwegians etc. as they themselves switched to trawling. The boat was equipped for dry fishing, i.e. the fish were gutted and salted on board. Spruce and oak were probably used to build the boat. Most boats built in England were made of lime and elm. A first-class building material that is almost impossible to obtain today. FD is the name for Fuglefjord on the island of Eysturoy (Østerø Syssel). Unfortunately, no precise information is available on the whereabouts of the FD 10.

For the hull of this model, a keel is first built on a frame and then planked with mouldings. Many of the wooden parts are precisely laser-cut.
