XML FeedsZulu or Fifie
By mark on May 18, 2008 | In News | 1 feedback »
Had a comment from someone wondering wether she might be a Zulu, not a fifie, I always believed she was a Motor Fifie, but the rake on the stern post gives it all away apparently and this one could be either, so maybe she's a Zufie. A year or 2 a go I lumped them all with the monicker "Scottish MFV" Clearly lots to learn still!

We reckon she is a Baldie, in other words a cross between a Fifie and a Zulu. Combining the attributes of both designs.
The angle of stern rake is not enough for a full Zulu. Locally (Old Torry, Aberdeen) we called them a quarter or half Zulu depending on the rake angle.
Our group are in the process of rebuilding a 26ft one at the moment back to full sailing spec.
The resemblance in the link pic below is quite noticable.

Keep up the good work.
