do they ever have a sale?

You can contact them and ask. Sometimes they sell sails separately.

not sails , sales

Sorry for misunderstanding. From my experience if you are new to enter this hobby you would have to get prepared for much bigger expenses than just purchase of a ship kit. Multiply initial kit purchase by two or sometimes four times and it would become a true cost of your new hobby. Cheers.

You can buy direct from Jotika on their web site. I purchased mine over 6 years ago. I have never seen it on special, it was $1400 Au then, now its close to $2000 here.

so basically it is what it is and just go for it

Unfortunately Anthony,CMB do have sales now and again offering 5% off but rarely does this apply to Caldercraft kits.I doubt they will have one at the moment as due to Lockdown supply is being outstripped by demand.

Kind Regards

The Caldercraft Victory under 1.000 Euro incl. VAT and excl. postage is a very good offer. In Germany the normal price is around 1.250 Euro.
BTW:
You can ask for the selling excl. VAT when selling the kit to the USA, which is reducing the costs once more......
I know, that in the USA there is no real VAT, but dealers like Cornawallis etc. in UK or in EU have to reduce the VAT selling outside the EU.
The VAT in the UK is in moment 20% - Send them a mail and ask for it - Maybe you can get the kit with this way much cheaper.

Caldercraft / Jotika is also selling directly via this page:

Nelsons Navy

The Victory is offered here with £ 939,96 Inc VAT and for £ 783,30 Ex VAT -> So Caldercraft is offering it already for the selling excl. VAT
