Toward
the end of the 18th century, “Virginia built” boats were used as pilot boats from the Delaware
Capes to Hatteras. During the American Revolution and the War of 1812, the U.S. government issued privateering
commissions to many privately owned vessels of this type.
The Katy kit features a solid basswood hull, already carved to the
correct shape. It needs only a bit of light sanding before you lay the deck and
construct the cabin. Ready-to-use fittings include shaped and drilled wooden
blocks and deadeyes. Precision cast Britannia metal parts faithfully
replicate pumps, galley stacks, and anchors. Eyebolts, strops, rings and
chain plates are brass. Accurately scaled rigging line is supplied in three
sizes. And since real ships had wooden mast hoops, your model will too!
Detailed plans, 40-page instruction book are also included.
