Lowell Grand Banks Dory Model with Tools

I bought this kit to get some experience building model boats. I built a full sized sherry from a kit I purchased from Chesapeake Light Craft a few years ago and I felt like I was right back in my garage when I was building this dory. This kit is incredibly complete -- all the tools needed were included and then some -- the instructions were spot on and the materials were without a flaw. The dory is displayed in a prominent place in our villa -- I have gotten great comments from family and friends about how great it looks. I m waiting for delivery of the Lightning model as I write this review. I could not be more pleased with the Wooden Boat Store and their products.

It is very nice and seems to have everything needed to complete the boat. Can’t wait for him to get it finished!

Have built wooden models before but particularly appreciated this model's instructions - a bit of mentoring is always a good idea and there were some new tricks that even a seasoned builder can learn and utilize afresh.

I was very impressed with how complete the kit kit is.

Really a fun build. So i ordered two more kits upping the difficulty. It's a great way to wind down after a day of skiing. I'm a Wyoming land lubber so maybe I'll lear enough to build the real thing one day.
