Seaworthy Ship Kit: Sharpie

Orders containing this item will ship the week of Sept 7.  The Sharpie was developed in the United States during the 19th century as a replacement for the log canoe. Their trademark flat bottom hulls were commonly rigged with one or two masts carrying triangular sails. They have a reputation for speed and handiness.  This product is sold as a model kit for you to enjoy building, not as a completed wood boat model. Made by a charming toy boat company based in the USA. The owner is a long-time Colorado resident and recently retired educator. Her love of sailing began early, culminating in a year-long adventure sailing across the Pacific Ocean and through the south seas. She is a retired science teacher, an avid woodworker, even building her own kayak, and currently serves on the board of The Rocky Mountain Wooden Boat School. Kit includes: Pre-shaped 9” Solid Wood Sailboat Hull Wooden Fin Keel Wooden Mast and Spar Pre-cut Poly Sail Illustrated Assembly and Sailing Instructions Cotton Rigging Line Rigging Tape Sandpaper Items not included: Scissors Paint or permanent markers to decorate
