ir3 Posted June 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I am reoffering the St. Nectan kit. It was purchased in 2016 and unpacked to check contents. When I first offered the kit I didn't notice that there was a hull problem. There is a flaw in the keel. It is perfectly straight but sags about 1/8' to 1/4" in the middle (hogging). I checked with Mountfleet and this is a direct quote via email: "Hi They all have the same problem, our workshop boat also has one and as ours is sat on the shelf you can see it. I think it was obviously in the original plug. it would probably be something that would be difficult to change Thanks Mountfleet models" Otherwise the hull is perfectly straight. It still makes up into a beautiful model. With the bilge keels in place it will hardly be noticeable and will not affect the sailing. I have included a picture of the hull with a straight edge on it to show the problem. I have a lot more pictures of the hull and if interested I will be happy to send them via email. The hull is actually in excellent condition except for the hogging problem at the keel. As a result of the hull problem I am asking $795 plus shipping. Shipping is about $120 - $140 to the North East Coast USA from 91307. The box is 71 x 14 x 12 and weighs 32 lbs. Thanks for looking.

ir3 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted June 24, 2020 Thanks for the comments on the kit. It is quite a challenge. There are several very good build threads on the net as well as on MSW so there will be lots of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir3 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted December 31, 2021 Reasonable offers considered. Also interested in a trade for Caldercraft Resolve or any twin-screw tug such as Marie Felling. Thanks for looking. mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
