the "Göl" is a stroke on the hull of a boat some 10 cm under the deck. It's often painted golden. The strocke is not only painted but also made as a small groove. The Ends at the bow and the stern are often designed as an arrow or a Dragon (William Fife) or a as an ear of Corn (Abeking&Rassmussen). Not every boat has this. My Solgun for example is such a cheap boat...
In some of our Models, we made a 3 mm Strip from dark wood at bright planks and a bright strip at dark planks.
By the way, this design element makes the boat longer for the spectators. See on top of this site at the bow You can see the Göl at Agneta. The hull is Mahogany, the Göl is made from pine-wood.
Not much has been done lately, i have coarse sanded the hull on one side. Next side, will take a bit longer, since the situation in the world is fckptn and i need to do my bit. Anyway here is a picture of the current state.

Peace, love and understanding. Why is that so hard..........
What happened here you might ask. Well i got involved as a sponsor of Ukrainian fugitives, so i have wholeheartedly supported 3 familys. (Now there are 2 familys left) I got a stroke 10:th of July which i have fully recovered from. But i have lost the love for modelbuilding since my Ukrainian friends needs overshadows this hobby. Slowly i'm getting back at it, now i have glassed the outside of the hull, will add another layer of epoxy tomorrow.
