This hardworking ancestor of the Friendship sloop was the basic near-shore fishing boat preferred by the lobstermen of Muscongus Bay, a body of water known for contrary winds, strong tides, and numerous rocky ledges. The fine detailing and accurate construction make this kit a dramatic display model. This intermediate plank on bulkhead model includes many laser cut parts, all necessary planking materials, fittings, rigging cord, and sailcloth. The plans outline steps for radio controlling this model - additional parts would be required.
