Description
Originally drawn in the early 1930s by The Rudder editor William Crosby, this class, much like the Lightning class, is still going strong.
Ideal for the first-time modeler, you can build this display model without a lot of fancy tools or advanced woodworking skills. The kit includes mahogany for the hull, sails and rigging, wooden spars, and materials to make the stand. Parts are die-cut from veneers and mahogany ply. You supply the glue and paint. Simple tools needed include sandpaper, long nose pliers, sewing needles, masking tape, small drill bits. Its simplicity makes it a great gift.
This is a "static" display model, not set-up for pond sailing.
