I was looking for something which would not require months or years to complete and found this 19th Century model from MarisStella.
(Taken from the MarisStella website)
Stilac is a ship of recent times, namely of the 19th century, is welcomed by a large number of boat builders.
She is built along the east coast of the Adriatic Sea to transport a wide variety of products linking the islands to the mainland.
To explain and present this simple design, between the coastal people there is “a deep rooted” expression for the construction of the ship - well done. The stern and sails were taken from Bracera, the bow by the logger.
This ship can be from 12 to 20 meters long.
Stilac still sails today, obviously with an engine and without sails and is used for the transport of passengers and for the extraction and transport of marine sands.
Shipping carton arrived with no apparent damage
Open box shows everything carefully packaged with plan sheets and instruction booklet on top
4mm Plywood bulkheads and cradle
Laser cut walnut panels .6mm-6mm thickness
Walnut and Limewood strips and dowels
Walnut dead-eyes, blocks. Rings chain and anchors
Black cordage .25mm -1.25mm light cordage .25mm – 1.25mm
Pre-sewn sails
140 pg. illustrated instruction manual
Illustrations
Plan sheets 35” x 39”
Plan sheets 35” x 39”
.5 & 1mm Photo etched brass sheets
Silica Gel to keep my powder dry
Wood products appear to be of very good quality and nicely cut
Instruction manual is in three languages, thankfully I can read one of them
Will do a build log however, not sure when I will be able to start the build as I have currently a build ongoing.
Should be a fun build as there isn't tons of rigging to deal with.
