Fully assembled models of the Atlantic sell for thousands of dollars. The Schooner Atlantic was the winner of the 1905 Kaiser’s Cup Transatlantic Race. Built in 1903 this sleek, three-masted steel-hauled yacht was the height of luxury and faster than most other boats afloat. She set a record for the West to East crossing of the Atlantic under sail that stood until 1980, when it was finally broken by a high-tech modern multi-hull. With her towering rig unique design, and dramatic black hull. She is a striking and impressive model, suitable for a modeler with moderate experience. Powered by a steam auxiliary engine, she sported a special low-drag propeller and a folding funnel, both of which were removed for racing. An updated version of the original Boucher kit, designed in 1934, the Atlantic has a machine-carved basswood hull, finely-cast Britannia pewter and etched brass fittings, wood, sheet styrene and all other needed materials. The clearly written instructions and the redrawn plans make it easy for even a less experienced modeler to produce a striking and impressive model.
