electric capstan, electric towing
machine and water
tight doors.

ft. beam.
Kit features a pre-shaped, machine
carved solid wood hull, shaped deck

DAPPER TOM
SOLID HULL KIT
During the early 19th century, many
Baltimore clippers were granted priva-
teering licenses by the US government.
Only a fast, well handled ship could be
reasonably sure of reaching its desti-
nation. Privateers like the
Dapper Tom
depended on their sailing abilities and
fire power to prey on foreign shipping
and to escape the British men-of-war
patrolling the high seas.
Kit features a machine carved bass-
wood hull with accurately shaped bul-
warks and transom. Fittings include 8
cast metal cannon, mast caps,
anchors, capstan and gratings, brass
eyebolts and belaying pins, plus hardwood blocks and deadeyes. Scribed decking, wooden
masts and yards, and three diameters of cotton rigging provide the finishing touches of authen-
ticity. With the help of clearly drawn plans and illustrated instructions, even first time builders
can finish an impressive model. (Display base and brass pedestals are not included.)
FAIR AMERICAN,
REVOLUTIONARY WAR BRIG, C. 1778
PLANK-ON-BULKHEAD KIT
Fair American is a reproduction of a model built over
200 years ago, now on exhibit at the U.S. Naval
Academy Museum at Annapolis, MD. She is said to
represent the 14-gun privateer Fair American sailing
out of Charleston in 1778.
Plank-on-bulkhead construction uses high quality
basswood, the preferred wood of professional mod-
elers. All structural hull parts and major fittings are
laser cut, so they fit together with remarkable ease.
The kit contains over 60 cut or shaped wooden
parts, plus 120 extra wood strips for a second layer
of planking, should you wish to build your model
with a double planked hull. More than 500 fittings of
wood, brass and Britannia metal fittings include 14
brass guns on wooden carriages, cannon, chain-
plates, bell, anchors and wheel. Seven plan sheets a
48 page instruction book by Erik A.R. Ronnberg, Jr.
and Ben Lankford, plus a 38-page guide to planking the hull make building easy.
(Display base and brass pedestals are not included.)
