My husband and son were very impressed with the easy handling of your boats. They are better than one we bought a few years ago that was twice the price, and didn't sail worth beans! Yours is excellent!

The baby's father was delighted - he is waiting for the day his son and he can sail it - he'll be practiced by then!

On weekends we take out the rubber raft and let the boat go and the chase is on!

Just like the real thing. Almost more fun than being on the boat.

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.
