FD 10 YAWL
The fishing yawl was built during the late 1930's in the Faroe Islands. Actually the
boat is not a typical Faroe's vessel although it was very popular in that area. As a
matter of fact it is English. FD 10 is equipped with an English cutter rigging. The
English sold this type to the Faroese, Icelanders and Norwegians as well as to
fishermen of West Jutland. They wanted to sell as they were changing over to using
Trawl. This boat was equipped to handle 'dry taking' which means that the fish
was prepared for salting on board. In all probability the yawl was built of pinewood
on oak frames, but most original English boats were made of lime wood and elm.
These were extremely strong materials for wooden boats, but they are very difficult
to come by nowadays.
FIG.1: BASEBOARD, KEEL AND FRAMES
A good help by the building will be a baseboard (a piece of wood 10 to 20mm). It is
not included in the kit, but can be obtained separately at a timber merchant.
The keel is nailed (F230) down on the baseboard as shown on the drawings. Then
glue the frames at right angles to the marked positions.
FIG.2: PLANKING
Sand and bevel the frames to fit the shape of the hull. Sand the planking strips to
taper fore and aft. Hold the strips in place with pins and glue with white cement.
FIG.3: HULL HALVES
When both hull parts are assembled and sanded, glue them together with great
care. The hull can then be given a final sanding. Rail, rudder and so on are made
ready after the drawings and then mount on the hull.
FIG.4: DECK FITTING
Mounting of the various fittings is shown. Position the parts as indicated on the
main drawing.
MASTS AND BOOMS
Assemble the masts individually and mount on the deck. Remember to add sail
rings no. F185 before starting to rig. It is a good idea to mount the sails on the
booms before attaching the booms to the masts.
MAIN PLAN: SAILS AND RIGGING
Cut out and sew the sails as shown. Press with a warm iron and attach as
indicated. Mount and attach the rigging threads to the deck and jack pins as shown.
