This beginner-level plank-on-frame kit builds via a false keel and pre-shaped frames, mirroring the real boat's construction method. The box contains high-precision laser-cut plywood boards, hardwood strip, brass and cast-metal fittings, rigging thread in two thicknesses, and ready-made cotton sails, plus a wooden display base. Instructions are provided as a full-colour step-by-step guide on DVD (no printed instruction booklet, though a paper plan sheet and a multilingual parts/rigging booklet are included); some builders have noted the rigging diagram doesn't clearly mark every tie-off point.
