FEATURES

Tunny fishing is a very strenuous occupation that requires really strong seaworthy boats that are really fast. Many types were used originally, some were too clumsy and 'Chaluppes' of about 20 ton were not strong enough so the 'Dundee' was developed, weighing 50 to 60 tons, rigged with several sails, and carrying a 12 man crew.

The white tunny is caught in lines. The tunny fishing boats are equipped with 'tangons', long poles more than 20m long. They are placed on each side of the main mast, and they are lowered down on each side when the boat is fishing. Normally every 'tangon' has 7 lines, which are connected to each other by ropes, which enables the fishermen to drag the tunnies aboard without touching the position of the 'tangons'. Two other lines are fixed to the stern and often a third very long line is fixed to the top of the main mast. The lines end in an 'avancon' made of brass wire, where the fishing hook is fixed.

The MARIE JEANNE is a 1:50 scale model of wood construction and comes complete with all fittings.
