Billings - Colin Archer
« on: May 19, 2006, 12:32:14 pm »
Has anyone on here built the larger Billlings kit of the Colin Archer.

If so can you give any comments on it as a model to make, and to sail

I avoid Billing Kits like the plague.  Timber Quality etc is second class, but then, relatively speaking, the kits are cheap. so, you pays yer money and takes yer choice.

Fair comments and a lot of their kits are cheap including a much smaller Colin Archer - this one though is about 5 times the price hence wondering

I have built two of them and it is one of the better kits to build and very nice when finished.
