Model boat kit

Spray

Kit by Bluejacket

Spray was the old oyster sloop that Joshua Slocum rebuilt and sailed alone around the world between 1895 and 1898, the first recorded solo circumnavigation. She disappeared with Slocum in 1909.

The 3/8 inch scale kit (KLW201) uses extra-thick planking over a complex hull shape, with much of the wood laser cut, plus Britannia fittings, sailcloth and a display cradle.
