PURITAN
COPPA AMERICA 1885
Planned by Edward Burgess, Puritan was a sloop of a little less than 30 metres with
a good width and a sliding keel which is characteristic of American boats of that
class. She also had a certain draught and part of the ballast was fastened to the keel
like English cutters. She was therefore a fairly sure boat. In 1885, under Captain
Aubrey Crocker's command, she defended the America's Cup against the English cutter
Ginesta, winning in only two races, the first one with light wind, the second with
wind of over 20 knots, confirming the superiority of the American hulls of this type
of regatta. The scale in which we have produced our kit is 1:50, which shows every
detail of the real structure.
The model can be constructed both as static (with the second visible planking in
mahogany or painted according to preference) or sailing following the indications
to make the hull waterproof. No provision has been made.
