PAYMENT AND ORDERING

[Heinrich]

@donfarr Don - you actually don't even have to check. The freight forwarder (and it seems to be UPS who is carrying out the local distribution in the USA and Canada) will contact you either by text, e-mail or phone call. I would suggest you alert your daughter to a possible phone call. Yours should be VERY close now. I would guess approximately two or three days from now.

Maybe West Coast arrival airports

are more convenient to eastward deliveries which may follow shortly afterwards. Rich (PT-2)

This box is heavy, are you sure Its not the real Blue Nose.

 

[Heinrich]

@marter1229 Yes, it is! No I have a nice surprise for you!

Seeing that your Bluenose was #003, check out the real Bluenose's racing number on her sails!

 

[Dean62]

Congrats to those who have received your Bluenose! I'm waiting patiently to get the email...<sniffle>...
Meanwhile I continue progress on the Cazador, getting ever closer to the mast and rigging stage!

 

[marter1229]

Rigging my San Francisco , if I open the new kit I will never finish the San Francisco.
Plus a little more rigging practice won’t hurt.

My invoice was received and paid, now to wait on Heinrich to show me a photo and by New Year maybe a new kit!

Of course the number changed from race to race but this is a great link for the kit. Rich (PT-2)
What is the source of these photos and a book that was previously referenced with the planking photos? RIch

 

[Heinrich]

@PT-2 No book as far as I know - these are just the published photographs of Walter MacAskill and should part of the Nova Scotia archival collection on Bluenose.

 

[Heinrich]

Time for Father Christmas again!

Bluenose #14 enters unchartered territory (for her) as she heads off to @sparks Piet Korenbloem. Congratulations, Piet! May she provide you with many hours of pleasure and looking forward to your build log!

"and by New Year maybe a new kit" he says...

@Kkonrath Kurt, I sleep at night (and then only for a very short time) ! Bluenose #015 is on her way to Oklahoma!



Enjoy, my friend!

I will have to search that out and see what may be available as you have presented to us. Rich

I saved as several photos from MacCaskill and will put them up for awareness of how cluttered and messy the fishing conditions were on the decks. Where do you want me to insert those for best filing and viewing? Rich

I entered a thread and title as a starting "draft". If there is a more comprehensive thread topic title I hope that can be revised. Rich

 

[Heinrich]

And the next two are ready, willing and able!

@Gregoryhansel Hello Gregory. Bluenose #016 has left port on her way to you!



@Stargazer Louis. your lady proudly carries #017.



Gentlemen, as promised. Thank you so much for your support and may you find pleasure in the assembly of this very fine kit!

ANNOUNCEMENT

This morning FedEx told us that all deliveries to Canada during the Christmas Season , can no longer be delivered within the specified and agreed time frame - neither can they tell us how long it would take. Obviously this is not acceptable at all, so we switched to UPS for our Canadian deliveries. The only downside to that is that it comes at a premium. The all-inclusive kit and shipment price to Canada amounted to 252.60 USD this morning when we had to ship a kit.

I trust that you all understand the situation - it is not much of a difference, but a difference nonetheless and I just thought best to keep everyone in the loop!

Kind regards - Heinrich

I checked the status of my kit today. On Tuesday it was scheduled to be here Friday. I checked UPS today and this is the message it is showing

In Transit

Package is delayed in transit. Delivery will be rescheduled. Check back or signup for UPS My Choice® to receive updates.


So it looks like UPS is also delaying packages to Canada
