Once you’ve built a few models, you’ll probably find the sets in this category well within reach. Some of the more detailed work on these models, however, is left up to you. Even though this boat is known as a “ Monterey, ” the design of this craft originated in San Francisco Bay, California, (90 miles from Monterey). This boat was built at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco & was given the nickname “ Monterey”. The immigrant Italian or Sicilian craftsman in San Francisco Bay, patterned the “ Monterey” after the Mediterranean Lateen Sail Felucca, with modifications to accept a gas engine, so this is a true California, USA creation! These boats were “built by eye, ” no plans used, the craftsmen simply started with a general double ended design, with an ample beam, clipper bow, & built the remainder by eye. So, “ All “ Montereys” are alike, but no two are the same.” This 1928 version owned by Angelo Ghio, has all the characteristics of a true “ Monterey, ” as he chose the style of house; stem curvature etc. that he preferred. Several thousand of these boats were built from 1910 to 1950, they proved to be very sturdy (cedar planking) & reliable with much beauty for a work boat! A few are still in use, the “ Monterey” boat is in its 77th year, (its 9th owner). Specifications: Height

This level is for those who have tried to build a model ship before, or perhaps one of plastic. These models also have a simple construction, though you will meet a number of ’challenges’ on the way! When three men met in early 1949 at a Seattle sailboat shop, none of them could have foreseen the peculiar & far-reaching consequences of their joint venture to build a better race boat. Slo-mo-shun IV was indeed better than any previous race boat. But she was more than that: Slo-mo IV touched the hearts of thousands who cheered her on & changed forever the way generations of Seattleites feel about the first week in August. Slo-mo IV transformed the lives of those most closely associated with her, nearly destroying some of them. She evoked thrills & anger &, ultimately, she prompted tears & inspired poetry.
