Have a great time building this incredible and what i think is still the best Victory
Built mine over 5 years JUst abit of Rigging to do
Mckays book REALLY covers the most intricate Rigging
The instructions are actually very good Plans SUPERB
I would use the Amati Copper as is ready to go and actually more accurate you vcan build it to over lap as per the real thin (ie Stern to Stem)
