- Description
Colin Archer new version
The originally named "RS 1" was built for the "Norsk selskab til skibsbrudnes redning" (Norwegian Society for the Rescue of Castaways) in 1893 at the Colin Archer shipyard in Rekkevig near Larvik, Norway. "RS 1" was only later christened "Colin Archer" after her designer and builder, and later became world-famous for her pointed-gate design. A total of 30 ships of this type were built.
This kit has been revised by Billing Boats. The hull is built in keel and frame construction and planked with battens. Many wooden parts are laser-cut. Rudder, ship's shaft with stern tube and propeller are designed for propulsion with electric motor. The sails are controlled with 3 sail winches. For the mainsail we recommend the Windforce 1406 sail winch and for the headsails 2 Windforce 1006 sail winches are suitable. All fitting parts are included with building plan and instructions.
