Skipjack assembly

The backbone piece made out of balsa is too flimsy and didn’t stay straight. This was a problem when mounting the deck . Also It it broke by the bowsprit as a result of a minor bump.

A great way to spend your time during COVID 19 quarantine. The model comes with great instructions and the final product is a beautiful replica of My favorite sailboat architecture.
