A wood plank-on-bulkhead kit in Midwest's beginner "Apprentice"/Success Series line, made from micro-cut basswood, mahogany and birch parts with die-cut side and bottom planking to simplify construction, though some pieces still require hand cutting and fitting. The box includes full-size rolled plans, an illustrated step-by-step construction manual, a complete fittings set (sails, blocks, fittings and rigging line/cast metal parts), and a display stand. One buyer review notes the laser-cut basswood pieces are high quality but that the build is more labor-intensive than the "Skill Level 1" rating suggests.
