Mike Esposito Posted January 25, 2023 #1 Posted January 25, 2023 This sounds like a perfect 1st kit. Modern plans on CD, pre-sewn sails, only 1 mast. See that it is not available. I contacted AL and they said 1 year till Restock? Wow! I guess it is a popular kit. Is this a normal occurrence? Does it really take this long? Thanks

But, good news -- there are plenty of other cutter-type kits available out there. Keep looking until you find an in-stock example that grabs your interest. mtaylor 1 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

mtaylor Posted January 25, 2023 #3 Posted January 25, 2023 It's possible that they are re-doing the kit. Seems the new owners are putting time and money into re-deisigns and upgrades.

Mike Esposito Posted January 26, 2023 Author #4 Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Thanks. AL website says that the kit is redone with pre sewn sails! Were earlier kits different? Is this OoP kit a new edition? Ok. I was able to find a copy. For my 1st wooden ship kit I have it narrowed down to the AL Jolie Brise and the Amati Drakkar kit.... Which is easier/ better?
