Hallo Ali,
Thank you very much for your touching message (Cry for help!) and your compliment😀
I'd be absolutely delighted and honoured to help where I can.
(Never could resist a pretty lady with such deep blue eyes!😉)
It will also encourage me to get on with my restoration!!
I inherited my Gina 2 from an Aunt of mine a few years ago.
No idea how or where she got it!
She was an artist who often painted scenes of the fishing boats on the Kent coast, where we all hail from.
Took me a while to track down the registration number and find out that Gina is a Danish fish cutter and not a Kentish boat as I had assumed🙄 Common on the Danish west coast, home port Ebsjerg. Many of them now converted to tourist boats🤔
Attached pic shows what the originals looked like.
I don't know who built mine but it was badly 'thrown together' and I am trying, on and off between other projects, to not only restore her but also convert her to radio control.
Wish me luck🤞 I'm sure your Dad made a much better job of his😊
My boat seems to be complete but all the parts are very dry and fragile (the deck fell apart in my hand) so I will probably replace some, may have to scratch build them if not available commercially.
I have got as far as restoring and sealing the hull so that she floats😊
I also restored a vintage motor from the 50s to use to propel her.
Feel free to ask questions and send me a list of missing/broken parts as and when you can.
I have a reputation on our Model Boats site for tracking things down!
You may contact me any time at doug-bell@t-online.de
or 0049 176 43216081 (SMS?).
All the best, and Ahoy shipmate to your Dad.
Cheers, Doug 😎
