Just a brief note to thank Seaworthy Small Ships for a great
product and similar service to your customers.
My grandson is 5 years old, and with a little hand-holding we
completed the Cricket in a couple of days (had to wait for paint to
dry). What an effective educational tool and inspiration to build
more sailboats.
On his next visit to grandpa's house, we will construct the Coaster,
which I have already purchased.
Thank you again,

Thanks
so much for your seaworthy small ships!... Your
vessels continue to amaze and delight us with their remarkable sailing
ability.

My
boys and I have enjoyed the
Pinewood Sailors
that we made during the WoodenBoat 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!"

I
just wanted to pass along a well deserved "Thank You"--in
this world of mass produced, media hyped toys, it is wonderful to know
I can still find a suitable "Toy" to share with my kids--my
6 year old son & I just finished the
Neon
Tetra & cannot wait till we test it. Keep up the good work.

Regarding the "Neon
Tetra") The difficulty
level was just right for a six year old--the pre-drilled holes were
great. On Saturday we were waist deep in the pool. It passed the float
test with flying colors, looking very sub like. The fun started when
we wound it up. I confess I had doubts about the torque from the prop
but it dove under the surface, traveled across the bottom and did a
very realistic climb to the surface. All that to the total amazement
of an extremely thrilled 6 year old. It is a great kit and made for
a fun weekend. C.N.

Mom and Dad to order my first kit. D.W.

The Coaster
is for my granddaughter, 1 year old Hanna (and her Daddy). The Coaster
will be named "Palestine" after a schooner my Grandfather sailed
on in 1889. The Coaster (Palestine) will be a special gift to Hanna and
my first born.

I must say my son
& I both were delighted with the
Neon
Tetra
submarine!! Your kits are the most innovative/creative I've seen in years.
Anyhow, enclosed please find a check for the
Cricket
sailboat. P.S. We tested the sub last night and it really does perform
as promised! J.G.

Just thought I'd
drop you folks a note to tell you how terrific I think your model boat
kits are. My five year old daughter and I assembled the
tug
and the sailboat (Cricket) and we had a terrific
time. There are so few things fathers and daughters can do together...I'm
grateful you created this business.

I would like to order
2 kits of the "Neon
Tetra" submarine
model. One of the kits is for my niece for her 8th birthday. I have started
her on model building, but she prefers models she can play with after
she finishes them to the kind that just sit there to be admired. The other
is for me, as I also prefer the kind that can be played with. I wonder
where she gets it....

I recently completed
one of your Skipjack kits and I am writing
to tell you what a delight it was to build...I sent my little ship on
her maiden voyage on the pond behind my home and she sailed beautifully!
A few strong gusts caught her abeam and canted her on her side, but she
quickly righted herself and sailed on...Thank you for producing a kit
that was a delight to build and sail.

I've had a great
time building and sailing the "Polliwog"
I built from plans...It's been a big hit with the kids at our park.

I enjoyed making
the "Polliwog" in fact I made three...I
have been spending my retirement making toys of all sizes and shapes for
grandchildren-great-grand-kids and a few day care centers. Boat plans
for toys seem to be hard to find...Thanks again for a neat ship to model.

I received your plans
for the "Fiji" - I have built 5 of them...I
have been having a ball!

...Enclosed
is a snapshot of "Grandad's Sloop" ("Shiner"),
6 of the 7 I constructed as gifts for children at All's Children's Hospital...They
were fun making and without saying, well received...

My son and I wanted
to tell you how delighted we are with the two ship models that I purchased...They
are the "Skipjack" and the "Scorpion"
and we had a ball sailing them...My son was impressed with how speedy
the little "Scorpion" was and I was impressed by the way the
"Skipjack" caught the wind and moved about like a real sailboat...

I
recieved my Cricket sloop 2 days ago and all
I can say is WOW. It took me only half an hour to put together the hull
and the sails and the sea trials were terrific. I had doubts about it's
speed but that boat cut through the water. It was amazingly stable and
you're right, it IS unsinkable. Whoever designed this should get an
award for designing the best model sailboat in the world.
