This wood kit features laser-cut basswood and mahogany parts, with cleanly pre-cut frames, keel, transom, deck, cabin, and side/bottom planking. The complete fittings set includes cotton sail material, two sizes of rigging cordage, plastic cleats and blocks, brass wire for mast hoops, deadeyes, chainplates, oarlocks, and chain for the bobstay, plus a hardwood display base/cradle. It comes with a detailed, fully illustrated step-by-step English instruction manual and plans, and is intended for builders with some prior wooden boat construction experience since parts require cutting, fitting, shaping and fabricating.
