    Hi All
    As the owner of two Hellen fishing boats, I was looking for something with better access, but, about the same size.
    I found the French version of the Hellen.
    Larger hatch and a raised section forward of the wheelhouse.
    Also this is my first strip planked boat, I picked up an IKEA wooden blind for $5au with a 100 strips of 3mm by 25mm and 1100mm long.

    Hi All
    Installed the bulwarks and started on the dingy which I added 19mm to the stern to match the hatch size.

    Impressive work Canabus๐Ÿ‘
    Construction is very similar to the Billing Danish fish cutter I am slowly restoring and converting from static to RC so picked up some useful tips from your photos. Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š
    Cheers, Doug ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Finished the dingy, hatch, skylights and companion way.
    Added some paint, matt 131 green for the hull, under water the hull is matt37.
    Yellow for the trim bits with matt vanish for the wood work.

    Hi All
    Installed the rudder with oiler, also installed the 60 turn motor with metal joint from banggood.
    Installed the 4.5KG servo with linkage to the rudder.
    First coat of Matt 37 which showed up a few spots that require a bit of filling.

    Hi All
    Installed the deck and filled around the edges.
    Gave the hull a quick run and it handle very well.
    Good turning circle and at 50% throttle still over scale speed.
    3/4 throttle looks about right.
    About to start planking.
