Most wooden boat kits require skill and patience in assembly. Usually the easiest to build, some are supplied with either solid or plastic ABS hulls and masts and rig are the hardest part. The most usual form of construction is plank on frame and that requires the most patience and skill.

All the current models we supply are complete with fittings, although most will require glues and finishing tools.

Remember! If on examination you feel you would prefer another model, you are free to return any item for a full refund, providing of course that it hasn’t been started.

The French brig sloop La Jalouse was launched in Dunkirk in 1794 and was a typical large French brig used for convoy, raiding and escort duty. Taken by the British vessel Vestal on 13th May 1797, re-named Jalouse and fitted out for duties in the Royal Navy. The only features that distinguished her as being of French origin were the 90° angle to the keel of the rudder post and the tops and crosstrees and trestletrees. After ten years in British service, she was broken up in 1807. Jalouse had a compliment of 121 officers and men. She carried 18 x 6 pounder guns, although the armament may well have been replaced by 18 x 32 pounder carronades sometime after her capture. Her dimensions were as follows: 102' 10" long 85' 4" keel length 27' 9" wide 12' 11.5" draught
