Pine Wood
Sailer
Model Boat Kits
"My
boys and I have enjoyed the Pine Wood Sailors that we made during the Wooden Boat
Show. Wherever we take them kids swarm around us to play with the boats and
adults ask where we got them. We just say, Seaworthy Small Ships!"
From
-Allen K.
An affordable alternative for
school, group and individual activities.
Explore
the art and technology responsible for our global culture with these fully
functional boats of the world. Our Pine Wood Sailers are unique, educational
models that can be used for school projects. Great for science, history, art and
technology classes or just plain fun! These model boats have real sailing
capabilities and need not be confined to rain gutter races. With simple
adjustments of sail and fin these small ships will sail into (close hauled),
across (reaching) and with (running) the wind in pool, pond or sea! Pre-cut wood
parts and sail require NO glue to assemble for sailboats. With only scissors to
cut rigging line and tape, you'll be ready to launch in minutes.
Kits are bulk
packaged (minimum order of 8). If fewer than 8 are purchased, $2.00 per
kit will be charged for handling. Pine Wood Sailer kits include pre-shaped solid
wood hulls, wooden keel fin, wooden mast and spars, pre-cut sail, rigging line,
rigging tape, sandpaper and illustrated step by step assembly and sailing
instructions.
Seaworthy Small
Ships has developed this more affordable line of boats without compromising
basic performance characteristics by refining each to its primary elements using
a common grade of wood (may include some knots), eliminating excessive packaging
and using recycled materials whenever possible.
