I recently purchased this kit and have started the build. I the kit description indicates that an English translation of the Italian instructions is included as an insert but it was missing in the kit I received. Looking for some who might have a copy or a source?
 
Since posting this request I have been able to obtain an English translation of the instructions for the Amati xebec model in .pdf form. Any one wishing to have a copy of the .pdf file can contact me directly on this thread.

Hello syhobbs. I would love to have the .pdf of the English translation. My Xebec is going to be my next build, after I finish the “Mayflower “. Thank you in advance. I can’t wait to see your build log. Here is my email. nishikiman@gmail.com
 
Does anyone who has built a Xebec be willing, if they used the ANCRE Le Requin as a guide, be interested in selling it, or if you want to keep the book in your library, sell me the explanation, description diagram of lateen rigging that comes separate from the book? Jordan in Arizona

LE REQUIN - Xebec - 1750


This monograph on the xebec LE REQUIN is based on documentation that gives us a complete picture of this ship.
including all plans of the timber works in 1/48.


35 EU price


Hope this helps; good luck
 
I live in peoria , Az. U.S.A.
Please convert to dollars, including shipping and I will send you a cashiers check, or a regular check, whichever you prefer. I am a retired doc
 
Hello jlgully1, The link will get to the direct ANCRE publications where you can buy the monograph. Be sure to select 'English'. Now, to make sure you understand, the 35EU is for the book only!! This doesn't include the plans. If you want to buy the complete monograph (including all plans in scale 1:48), then the price is 135.00 EU

135.00 EU is about $160.00 the USA 1EU = 1.19 USA/ ANCRE accepts major credit cards and PayPal and ships to the USA.

Good luck!
 
I hope you know that the Chinese are offering a full ribbed kit version of Le Requin for 1200$ on Ebay and in personal correspondence 800$ for planked hull and they also offer a 1:72 variation of the full ribbed one at 800$. I will post more when I receive more information from the makers.

They also are selling fully finished masts and spars for Le Requin for 180$ on ebay if someone does not want to do the shaping.

$900 for the 1:72 model here
