Skipjack 12" Sailboat Model Kit

Nifty model that's good for beginners. This sailing model includes distinctive details the Skipjacks are known for, including trail boards, strongly raked leg of mutton rig and tiny push boat hanging in stern davits. Sails and rudder adjust for "free sailing" or you can get a spool of fishing line in lieu of a chase boat. 

If you get to St Michaels Maritime Museum in Maryland, be sure to catch a ride on one of these oyster boats. We did a WoodenBoat Show there, and the whole crew got to go out one evening, which was especially nice as they maintained their true workboat demeanor. 

Geared for ages 10 and up.
