INTERNATIONAL OPTIMIST DINGHY pb
The world’s most popular dinghy class
LOA: 8 1/2” Scale: 1” Height: 11”
The popularity of the OPTI dinghy is due to its renown as the “best d
children’s sail training boat ever designed”. Our model is based upon
the official plans of the United States Optimist Dinghy Association,
scaled down to 1’=1”. The kit is designed for the first time wooden
boat modeler with detailed step-by-step instructions. This planked

YANKEE HERO was an actual boat whose model is in the National
Watercraft Collection of the Smithsonian. She is typical of a type of

this kit, anyone with the desire can learn to craft a fine wooden ship

Classic New York Harbor 85’ diesel tug
LOA: 16” Scale: 3/16” Height: 9”
e
This model is the first in BlueJacket’s new line of “Great American
c
Work Boats”. It is designed for the less experienced builder and is
popularly priced. Like so many of BlueJacket’s more recent kits, this
tug has been designed with a carved basswood hull (approx. 80%
of the final shape), laser cut wood for items such as the deck house,
etched brass and custom cast Britannia metal fittings. The plans and
instruction manual have been developed to be clear and concise.

Historic wooden tugboat, 1884
LOA: 26” Scale: 1/4” Height: 16 1/4”
r Built in Bath, ME, the SEGUIN spent her first years towing wooden
d sailing vessels in the Kennebec River and towing cargo barges along
the Atlantic coast. In the early 1900’s, she became a New York harbor
tug, finally returning to an active career in Maine until retiring in 1967.
This plank on bulkhead kit, designed for expert modelers, is adaptable
to steam or electric power and radio control. The kit includes many
laser cut parts, including the complex paneling of the deckhouse,
and is complete with all fittings, rigging line and other materials–even
the traditional rooster on the deckhouse!

This small steamer tug model is perfect for the less experienced

carved basswood hull, photoetched brass pilothouse and deck
plates, cast brass ventilators and propeller. LACKAWANNA worked
the East Coast, pulling barges of coal from Pennsylvania to the
industrial centers of the northeast and south. She was painted white
to show off the clean burning qualities of the hard anthracite coal she
burned. Her yacht-like appearance made her stand out amongst her
fellow workboats.

Before the era of modern aids to navigation, lightships played a crucial
role as beacons and waypoints. Specifically designed for her lonely,
rugged post sixty miles offshore, on the edge of Nantucket Shoals,
LV 112 was built in 1936 and stationed to mark the beginning of the major
ship channel into New York Harbor. Our kit shows NANTUCKET as

Built for working the unpredictable waters of the Gulf of Maine, along d
an unforgiving, rockbound coast. The high wavecutting bow and
long roomy cockpit is the seaworthy result of decades of design
adjustments based upon hard experience. BlueJacket’s lobster boat
represents a typical working boat, in its simplicity and absence of
frills. The intermediate to advanced builder will delight in the extra

years. After valiantly supplying our troops during the war, the T-2

As with all of BlueJacket’s more recent Admiral level models, BURKE
is a multimedia kit, containing a carved basswood hull, cast Britannia

appropriate. In keeping with BlueJacket’s scrupulous attention to

Meeting a critical need for aircraft carriers that could be built quickly
and economically, Henry Kaiser created a small escort carrier based
on a merchant hull. Launched in November, 1943, the GAMBIER BAY
saw action at Saipan and Tinian. As part of the famous Taffy III Battle
Group, she was crucial in halting the advance of the Japanese Imperial
Fleet. This kit is one of the most excitingly detailed WWII ships we’ve
ever built. Included in the kit are three each of the two types of aircraft
(TBM-1-C Avengers and FM-2 Wildcats) carried by the GAMBIER BAY,
finely cast in resin, with brass props and landing gear, and insignia

John Kennedy’s PT-109 is the one we all remember, but over 800
PT Boats were built. These sleek and deadly wooden boats served
in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters. Our kit, designed by author
and model builder, Dr. Al Ross, portrays a typical 1942 80’ Elco
PT Boat. Because of the large number of very small parts and the
delicate detailing required, this kit is recommended for intermediate
to advanced builders. It should be determined in advance whether
to use a gray paint scheme (European theater) or green camouflage
(Pacific island hopping) because the construction method involves
painting each subassembly before putting the whole boat together.
