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.
