What builders say
Reviews
Unedited, including the critical ones. We would rather you knew.
★★★★★
“The rigging alone took me three weekends and I have not enjoyed anything so much in years. The plans are properly drawn — you can actually read them.”
A. Whitcombe · Cutty Sark kit
★★★★★
“Ordered the 24in wheel expecting something lighter. It is eleven pounds of actual brass and the wall anchors they include are the right ones.”
M. Deleon · Ship’s Wheel
★★★★★
“Two frames were cracked in transit. Emailed on a Sunday, replacements posted Monday, no return asked for. That is how it should work.”
R. Okafor · HMS Victory kit
★★★★
“The sextant is beautiful but the case catch is stiff. Minor, and they offered to swap it. I kept it.”
J. Salter · Pocket Sextant
★★★★★
“Bought the Mayflower for my father-in-law who had never built anything. He finished it in a weekend and has now ordered the Cutty Sark. So, mixed results.”
H. Brandt · Mayflower kit
★★★★★
“Lantern arrived unlacquered as described. Six months on it has gone exactly the colour I hoped for. Do not polish it.”
T. Iversen · Copper Harbour Lantern
