it was bought as a kit in 1990 by a italian firm called mantua, when l bought this kit it was £90 ,now its three times as much, it took 3 & half years to make but it was good value , the hull is double planked it is four feet long every thing is in the kit that you need, all you need is patience and a lot of it,
