The Calella Light Boat is a type of fishing boat with a firmly routed tradition throughout the Mediterranean, although particularly numerous off the coast of Catalonia, at night and using its lights, from whence the name “bots de llum” (light boats) comes from. These boats, around 16 feet in length are usually manned by two crewmen and are mainly used for fishing mackerel and sardine, although they can be used for any other fish or crustaceans that might be attracted by the light shining down from the large gas-lit lanterns. One of their particular characteristics are the two large stabilizers “escuas” to limit the rocking of the wave swell, and the replacement of the helm with two ropes that operate the rudder through the lantern support. We hope that you will enjoy your love of ship modelling with the Calella Light Boat, a splendid model that will provide you with lengthy periods of creative leisure.
