Model Shipways Willie Bennett, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack 1:32 Scale by Model Expo Plank-on-Bulkhead Kit The skipjack was the last type of sailing vessel developed on Chesapeake Bay for commercial operation. Evolved during the 1880 s from various local types of flat and V-bottom skiffs and boats, the skipjack is still used today to harvest the Bay oyster. Bennett was built in 1899 at Inverness, Maryland. Her lines were recorded at Cambridge, Maryland by naval historian Howard Chapelle in 1942. Her whereabouts were unknown from 1942 until 1954, when she was discovered sunken in Harris Creek, Tilghman Island off Maryland s Eastern Shore. After she was raised and surveyed, it was determined that the damage was too expensive to repair. Model Expo Willie L. Bennett kit is based on the craft discovered in 1954. You’ll build your model the way the real Willie L. Bennett was built, following the plank-on-bulkhead techniques used on life-sized skip-jacks. To make building easy, we’ve supplied laser cut wooden molds, keelson and transom. Basswood is used throughout. Deadeyes and blocks are wood, and there’s plenty of brass for eyes, hoops, rings and chain. Sail cloth and rigging line complete your model. The 56 page instruction book by Ben Lankford gives you a wealth of detail with lots of photographs and drawings. Model Expo provides three sheets of plans that are so accurate that you could almost build a real skipjack using them! Display base and pedestals not included.

This item will be available as a special order only and will be custom made for you. Materials required for the creation of your item are in stock. This is a special FULLY ASSEMBLED replica of the Skipjack, a traditional fishing boat used on the Chesapeake Bay for oyster dredging. It is a sailboat which succeeded the Bugeye as the chief oyster boat on the bay and remains in service due to laws restricting the use of powerboats in the Maryland state oyster fishery. Master craftsmen using historical photographs, drawings or original plans meticulously handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch. They are built to scale with high-grade wood. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop. The Skipjack models amazing details include: beautiful hand-stitched sails, finest wood deck planking, detailed rigging, chrome and brass fittings and ornaments. This model comes standard with a solid wood base and brass nameplate. Itll make a perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast or passionate collector. The Skipjack apparently first appeared on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland in the late 1800s. Its development was precipitated by the decline in oyster harvests, and the need for an inexpensive shallow draft vessel. The design hasn’t changed in over 150 years, and the average Skipjack has now lasted well over three-quarters of a century, a tribute to their excellent construction. Skipjacks carry a sail design known as the “Leg-O-Mutton” Sloop Rig consisting of a mainsail and a jib. The standard design formula calls for a mast height which is the same the as the length of the vessel on deck, plus the width of the beam. According to legend, no Skipjack was ever built from a formal set of plans, but rather by “rack of the eye”. They were developed from the lines of the Chesapeake Bay Log Canoe, the Brogan, and the famous Clipper Ships. They are unique to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia, and the few remaining skipjacks still dredge oysters under sail during the fall and winter oyster season on the Chesapeake Bay. L: 29 W: 6 H: 31 Inches. Except when sales and must need to be attached. Ready to display, not from any sort of kit. Made of finest exotic tropical wood. Hundreds of hours were required to finish this model sailboat by skillful craftsmen and artisans. Individual wooden planks used in hull construction using plank on bulkhead method.
