Manual

NORDEN

The Norden is a typical coasting vessel as can be seen

sailing the waters along the Western coast of Denmark.

This boat type was originally built in about 1930 by local

shipbuilders in the small Danish towns of Klitmøller and

Vorupør , and represented a considerable improvement

of the boats of the time. Since then, no appreciable

changes have been made, althrough the boats have

become a few feet longer and now have a wheel house

under cover.

The Norden is a stable and seaworthy vessel. Its rather

round design limits the speed to approx. 6 knots.

The vessels are still used for shing, although

emphasis is now on seine shing, with sh pots and

angling used only as occasional sources of extra

income.

Weather permitting, shing starts early in the morning

and continues all day. The boats are lowered and

raised be means of an electric winch, with wires

embedded in a block rmly anchored a good distance

from shore.

Before being hauled ashore, the boats are sailed as

far up on the beach as the waves can push them.

The winch hook is then attached to the bow irons for

hauling.

The boats are lowered aft rst, although with strong

onshore winds the boats are turned on lowering, so that

the bow faced the waves. This is a difcult and often

quite dangerous operation.

For futher information about this type of boat, consult

your library and books about sea-shing of the past.

FIG. 1: SLIP, KEEL AND FRAMES

Position slip A on a rm and even surface. Loosen keel

0 carefully and sand or cut off any notches left from

the punched plate. Afx one of the keels to the slip,

hammering the nails only partly in, as they are later

to be removed. Cut out the frames (no. 1 to 10), and

sand all edges smooth. Next glue the frames carefully

to the keel; they should extend exactly to the point of

attachment for the deck. Hold the frames in place while

they are drying by putting a pin in the lower part of the

frame. Glue keel pieces 0a and 0b on the front and

back respectively. Ensure that all parts are thoroughly

dry before continuing.

FIG. 2: PLANKING

This gure shows the hull with planking strip no. 13

in position. Before beginning the planking process it

is very important to sand and bevel the frames to t

the shape of the hull. Planking stip no. 13 should rest

evenly on the frames. This ensures as well a larger

gluing surface. Check the bevelling of the frames by

trying out the strips on the frames before gluing on.

Now afx the rst planking strip ush with the upper

edge of the deck, then position the bulkward no. 12.

Planking downwards can be more difcult, as the area

to be planked on frame no. 6 is larger than frame no. 1,

making it necessary to sand the strips conically for and

aft. A small balsa plane is useful for this purpose. Make

sure to use sufcient glue. Remember to sand all strips

to taper for and aft, so they can be positioned naturally

on the frames. This will prevent any stressing of the

planking. The strips must never be twisted into position.

It is a good idea to make a mark on both frame no. 6,

for example, and the corresponding strip, making it

easier to afx. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before

removing the pins and mounting the next strip. When

the planking is nearing completion, remove the nails

which have held the model to the slip. Afx the last

strips, then repeat the process with the other half of the

strip. Glue on the stern blocks no. 1a.

FIG. 3: DECK

This gure shows the two hull halves ready to be glued

together, after both stern blocks no. 1a have been

positioned.

Sand both gluing surfaces completely even, and check

to ensure that the surfaces t snugly. Glue the two

hull halves together and hold in place with clamps,

clothespins or tape until dry. Sand the entire hull.

FIG. 4: PROPELLER, RUDDER AND SLIP

Glue the propeller to a piece of brass wire F410 and

glue to the hull at a distance of 17mm from the lowest

notch, then paint. The rudder is assembled as shown,

then lacquered and painted. Punch out slip no. 15 and

glue, using strip no. 16, at a distance of 12mm. Lacquer

and paint with no. 5.

Punch out and measure railing strips no. 17. Sand the

edges round, and stain before gluing. Cut the upper

part of the rail (no. 42) in lengths of 5cm, stain and glue

to the model. Now give the entire rail a coating of clear

lacquer.

FIG. 5, 5A AND 5B: CABINS, HATCHES, LOCKERS,

WINCHES, ETC.

The drawings in the building instructions show you

clearly how to assemble, paint and afx the various

parts which give the model an attractive nish.
