Clara May 1891 - Artesania Latina 1:50

[TexBilly]

I'm motivated to revisit this long abandoned kit from 15+ years ago, when I thought I wanted to dive in to this wonderful hobby. That is until life tapped my brakes. Starting a build log seems like a good launch point - or madness since I'm also busy building my 1921 Bluenose Schooner!

There seems to be limited build information on the Clara May or this nice AL kit so in case I missed any valuable intel, feel free to weigh in. Until then, including some quick images of the current situation. P.S. I do recall reading another member looking for plans (for sails perhaps?) so if kits and instructions in the wild are scarce, I'm happy to help out.

Thanks, I already have the full set of paper instructions.

I have this kit also, half built from about 20 years ago, when I was new to the hobby. I was lucky, my kit came with a set of pre-sewn sails.

That’s nice, Kurt. I wonder if there were different kit options at the time.
