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

Only AL can answer that question. 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.

It's possible that they are re-doing the kit.  Seems the new owners are putting time and money into re-deisigns and upgrades.

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?
