Anyone on here into wooden sailing ships?

[TCHedOff]

I have a Sergal Le Soleil Royal 40" kit - I bought close to 20 yrs ago. Evidently, since then, Sergal has merged with Mantua and they still sell the kit for @$1200 US. The kit I have predates this merger and only has Sergal on the box cover. The newer kits come with multilingual instructions; the one I have is in Italian only.

Anyone on here into these things and know more about this kit?

Sounds like a good project for you and Shane.

Ha! His 7yr old attn span wouldnt last for the glue to dry on 1 plank; with my beginner skills, we MIGHT get it done by the time he's 18!!

Thanks Yota; I'm also subscribing to some other sites to learn more. Ultimately I'm going to sell it (it is way beyond my skill level & deserves someone who can do it justice).

Todd, Try Edina Model Boat Club.. You hang out with these guys - don't you? They have about 30+ memebers that do this type of stuff. B)

Actually, You could either let Dave know or Steel know, they know the guys in the club. Also, I still have a member-ship with them and if you wanted me to post the specs on their web site/For sale forum - maybe we could work something out.

I've listed it on ebay; am posting some pics today.

Ted will contact Dave & Check Out Edina Club (tho as they are saling, I didnt think of them - this is a static model); Thanks.

Kev, No testing... boat isnt even together (tho it will be this week?).

Alden, DETAILS is right.... there are 104 cannons in this thing - each cannon is composed of several brass or wood components; this particular kit is pretty much the pinncale of wooden model ship kits. It'll sell, when the right buyer looks.... its cerntainly not for evryone.
