BOSTON SEA HARRIER
|
By David Metcalf
Scale 1:50.
Length 26 1/4''.
Beam 7 1/4''.
HAVING already produced the model plans of the stern trawlers Boston
Blenheim and Boston Lincoln for this magazine, I felt it would be nice to produce
a model a little smaller. However, I wanted it to be as near the same scale as the Boston
Bltnheim - 1/4in. to 1ft. (1:48). The ideal vessel seemed to be the Boston Sea Harrier
and at a scale of 1:50 she works out as the ideal companion to the Blenheim.
The Boston Sea Harrier was built in 1979 at Great Yarmouth. She is a one-off design,
a multi-purpose trawler, and trawls from September to March for pelagic fish, i.e.
mackerel and herring, for the first half of winter off the north west coast of
Scotland, then for the rest of winter off the Cornish coast, normally landing her
catch every day. The rest of the year she operates out of Lowestoft trawling for
demersal fish, i.e., bottom feeding fish such as cod, haddock, plaice, etc. The
Boston Sea Harrier operates as one of a pair of trawlers with one of Boston's
other vessels. Each vessel tows one end of the net in this operation, this type
of trawling normally taking placein the North Sea, and trips last from 12 to
14 days, catches being landed at Lowestoft.
The Sea Harrier's dimensions are:
Length OA — 32,20 metres (105ft. 8in.).
Length BP — 29,00 metres (95ft. 2in.).
Beam — 9,15 metres (30ft. 1/4in.).
Draught — 3,4 metres (11ft. 2in.).
Displacement — 702 tons max.
These dimensions give a model size, at scale 1:50,
of 261/4in. long x 71/4in. beam x 14 lb. displacement.
This length, coupled with a working bowthruster, should
give a highly manoeuvrable model. The large displacement
for its size should make it extremely stable.
Construction could be plank-on-frame hull or a glassfibre hull.
Decks could be constructed from ply and the superstructure and gantries
from plastic sheet. A Monoperm motor should give ample power.
