AMERICA 1/8 SCALE 1/96 SCALE 14.5” Long
In 1851, the “low black schooner” was the only foreign entry to challenge the cream of British yachting in a 53 mile race around the Isle of Wight. One English yachtsman remarked, “If she is right, all of us are wrong.” They were. AMERICA romped in 18 minutes ahead of her nearest competitor and brought home the Cup that still bears her name. Our 1/8” scale kit is of plank-on-frame construction, designed as an Admiralty-style model with its mahogany ribs exposed. We have provided enough wood to complete the planking if you wish, as well as brass and Britannia fittings, rigging line, and sail cloth.
