Some years ago, our late friend and builder Charlie Cook built one of BlueJacket Shipcrafter's New Bedford Whaleboat kits for our gallery. Rather than mount it in its cradle, he built a partial bulwark with davits to display it. We've had a number of folks ask it they could get one, but we didn't make a kit for it...until now. I just finished building the display model using the production kit parts. The kit, KLW122A, will be available shortly. It has four sheets of laser-cut parts, the usual basswood strip and britannia fittings, an instruction manual, and one 24" x 36" sheet of plans. Scale is 1"=3' to match our Whaleboat kit and is 11.5" long. Price hasn't been set yet but will be soon.
