John Alden Sloop Sailboat Kit
This is the John Alden Sloop Sailboat kit from Midwest. The boat is built on a strongback using a basswood keel and frames which self-align to create a hull structure ready for planking. Strips are added to create the hull shape. The hull is then removed from the strongback and the interior details are added.
