Vanguard afficianadios...... Cutter Alert vs Brig Adder

[bigcreekdad]

I have the former unstarted, but I'm curious if anyone can compare these two kits.

BRIG Adder.....never could worth a damn.

You can access your title for editing via post #1. Look for the three dots in the upper right corner.

Don’t have either but they seem the same size with Adder possibly having more rigging, at least because Adder has two masts each with double ratlines. Given that they’re the same price I’m guessing Alert has more of something else. 
 

On the Vanguard site you can download the instructions and compare to see which seems a better fit. I don’t remember if anyone here has done both, at least in terms of build logs I remember.

I’ve just finished Adder. Very well made kit. Instructions and plans also very good. I would imagine Alert would be constructed in a very similar fashion but with less rigging.

I think Hornet pretty much summed it up. 
I recently finished Alert. Excellent kit like everyone says. Just less rigging with Adder. Among other obvious differences. You can’t really go wrong with either kit.
 

You might get more specific answers if you narrow your question a little. “Compare them” is pretty broad.
