Designed by Edward Burgess, the American sloop Puritan was just under 100 feet long. Part of her ballast was fastened to the keel, making her very stable even in high winds. Like many other of her class, she was equipped with a sliding keel. In 1885 under the command of Captain Aubrey Crocker, she defended the America's Cup against the English cutter Ginesta, and won in only two races.
Mamoli's 1:50 scale kit reconstructs every detail of the original. Double plan-on-bulkhead construction is made easy by pre-cut poplar keel and frames. The hull is planked with limewood strips for structural strength, then covered with a thin layer of walnut for beauty. Other fine woods in the kit re mahogany, tanganyka, boxwood and beech. Hardwoods, cast metal and brass are used for fittings and hardware. Sail cloth, silk-screened flag and cotton rigging complete the kit. Display stand and nameplate are included as well. Clearly drawn plans and illustrated instructions assist you in sailing to a smooth finish.
