The
Billings Bluenose II wooden ship model accurately recreates teh real life schooner with a high level of detail.
The Bluenose II was launched in 1964 as a true copy of the earlier Bluenose. The schooner Bluenose has a very special place in the history of navigation and yachting. Built to fish off the Newfoundland coast, the ship soon turned out to be such a fast sailer that she won all the great classical regattas along the USA's Eastern coast. She was built in Nova Scotia in 1921, and shipwrecked near Haiti in 1946.
This
wooden boat kit uses plank on frame construction and its dimensions are 760 x 67mm. The kit is recommended for the advanced beginner.
