That is without a shadow of doubt a Mountfleet "Danny Boy" North Sea Drifter, you have the two rollers on each side of the hull by the main hatch, plus another two rollers on each side of the main hatch plugged into the deck, for a DRIFT NET. This Drifter was designed to catch herring, and has never seen a Trawl Net in its life,yes there is such a thing as a side trawler but this is not one of them.

If you search on here first Mountfleet models Danny boy there is a thread from 2021 where a member was building one. Might be some useful info there? LiverBudgie2 is the member concerned. Hope this helps.

I thought it was a Caldercraft model but it appears it is actually a Mountfleet fleet model. I don’t know when they first started making it though.

This boat is named after the chap's wife the man who made it was a master of one. Does anyone know when Caldercraft made these, on the subject of dating is there a list of what was made when sort topics for the forum

'Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.' Looks very well built and in good nick Stephen. Good swap👍 Sure you'll have a lotta fun with 'Maggie/Danny'. Keep us advised on progress please😉 Cheers, Doug😎 Here a much better rendition of Danny Boy than Lt. Riley's (Star Trek TOS) or 'Two Dads' (Sea Patrol)😁 How about putting in a sound module Stephen? To play either Danny Boy or Maggie May, depending on how you finally christen her.

Looks like a Caldercraft “Danny Boy”. There have been a few incarnations of the Lowestoft fishing boat LT72 but none of them with this name. It’s maybe named after a relative of the original builder of the kit. Nice model.
