## Description

Light and Swift, the New Bedford whaleboat could be dragged by a harpooned whale for many miles and at high rate, before the prey tired. Its double ended design allowed rapid direction change easy. It was planked with rot-resistant cedar, only half an inch thick, and with lapstrake construction. A whaleboat often took days to sail home, making drinkable water, food, tobacco, mast, sails and compass necessities to the sailors. The New Bedford Whaleboat kit includes a precut keel, frames, internal planking in hardwood strips, wooden/metal accessories, mast, building instructions/plans, and external precut/preformed planking for a museum quality finish. At Ages of Sail, our model ship kits are always of the highest quality available, with laser-cut parts and ornamentation made from the finest materials for an authentic look.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not worth the money
  

*by G***I on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2012*

This is a way overpriced import in a slick looking box - with not much in it. Go with the Model Shipways kit instead.
