Ex Admiralty 45ft MFV 956. The original was built by J McIntosh & Sons at Kilkeel in 1945. Didn't know if I was gonna build a boat this winter. I really wanted to build the Margaret Cargill AH 36, but not enough info available unless somebody can help. However, the SILVER BIRCH caught my eye in Jim Pottinger's book,..... FISHING BOATS OF SCOTLAND (page 69). Having Jim Pottinger's drawing for a 45ft MFV Hull, I thought I'd take an easier route than usual.
Frames and keel are all made from 6mm plywood. Only a days work thanks to having a scroll saw and disc/belt sander. I enjoyed building the ALEXANDERS and thought I'd do another wooden cruiser stern. So here it is. If anybody has any details of equipment etc., please give me the nod. Thanks.
