The
schooner Bluenose was built in Nova Scotia in 1921 to fish the rough waters off the coast of Newfoundland. A salt banker type, she stayed
out until her holds were full, using salt to preserve the catch. Bluenose
was lost on a reef near Haiti in
1946, but an exact replica was launched in 1963.
Kit is the most authentic representation of any Bluenose
available. And now, thanks to newly drawn plans and revised instruction book
by Ben Lankford, it's ever more accurate and easier to build.
Plank-on-bulkhead construction uses laser cut basswood parts for a perfect
fit. Flexible basswood strips are supplied for planking the hull. Fittings
are true to the originals, and include wooden blocks and deadeyes, Brass ring
and eyebolts, plus Britannia metal bilge pump, fife rail and anchors. Three
diameters of rigging line and cotton sailcloth ensure an impressive model.
