I recently completed a kit of your T-Class Racing Sloop. It was an enjoyable project and sails well. I wanted to drop you a note and commend you for the thoughtful design and excellent materials used in the sloop. And that you offer it in kit form as well as ready made. I've also given your name and address to the best toy store in town so perhaps they'll order some sloops from you for the season next summer.

I bought the T-Class Sloop kit for my Dad's 70th birthday last April. On his card I told him that this gift was to celebrate the beginning of his 2nd "childhood". He was an avid sailor in the 30's & 40's and misses sailing very much. When he's not "sailing" now, the sloop is mounted and hanging over his bar in his new home in Apple Valley. He says the workmanship is superb, the quality of materials is unbeatable, and the design is professional. And this comes from an "old sailor"!! Thanks for making a special man in my life very happy!!

The constant trade winds make sailing in Hawaii a real pleasure. My T-Class almost sailed out of sight with the long fishing reel line I had attached - then with a slight jerk, the boat turned around and sailed back. It's fun to take to the lake or dock.
