Fifie Part 4: the Scottish Motor Fishing Vessel: finishing the boat.

This is a video of the assembly of the Scottish Motor Fishing Vessel by Amati. The Fifie is a design of sailing boats that were a traditional fishing vessel used by Scottish fishermen from the 1850’s until well into the 1900’s. Their vertical stem and stern, long straight keel and wide beam made the Fifies very stable in the water. In the 1900’s many were converted to motorized craft. In this part 4 final video, I assemble the remaining deck equipment, hatches, spars, halyards, lifeboat, etc. This is the final step in the completion of the Scottish Motor Fishing Vessel kit from Amati – Victory Models.
