Joe Harbour Posted September 17, 2024 #1 Posted September 17, 2024 Brand new member here. I am hoping for some guidance on a kit for a Grand Banks schooner. Other than the Blue Nose which seems to be the go to. I think I could manage anything intermediate to advanced. Any suggestions? Thukydides, Keith Black, mtaylor and 2 others 5

Dr PR Posted September 21, 2024 #10 Posted September 21, 2024 Welcome! If you are going to build a grand banks fishing schooner I strongly recommend getting Howard Chapelle's The American Fishing Schooners 1825-193 (W. W. Norton & Company, New York and London, 1971). It has an amazing amount of information about these vessels and a 370 page "Notebook" (Appendix) with drawings and details from real fishing schooners. It will help you understand how these boats were built and rigged.

mtaylor Posted September 28, 2024 #11 Posted September 28, 2024 As for kit suggestions, do you have any preferences to type? Era? Etc.? Basically what's interests you the most?
