Hello,

I’m thinking of purchasing a wooden Cutty Sark kit and was wondering which kit to get.  I know there  are kits by Billing Boats, Artesania Latina, and Sergal.  Any preferences or experiences building these kits?  Likes and dislikes about certain things in the kits?

 

Thanks,

Don

It's hard to define "best" as each manufacturer has their own ideas.  I suggest doing a search in the kit build area for logs on the model.   It'll give you a better idea of what each kit is like.

James,   Thanks for moving my topic to the correct area.  I’m not sure how I ended up posting on the New Members section.
