Looking forward to them. Inspiration from this site and Dr. Google has been valuable.

I just looked up the Jenny - it looks like a nice boat and would be a very rewarding build. Looking forward to seeing more.
I have aspirations of building a Crandall Flyer (circa 1936). It will be a challenge, but if i get it right, also rewarding.

Check out the video, the original was around 16ft with a huge engine.

Glad you found her Doug. Aeronaut called the kit Bella but I felt she was worthy of her own name as I had built her. She was the second model I built. The wood effect is possible because of the quality of wood in the kit. I've been tempted to build her larger sister 'Bellisima' but I fear her size and particularly mast height, would cause complications when trying to fit in the car.

Cheers, Nerys

Yes, Aeronaut kits are very good quality, the Jenny is a good choice and I'm sure you will be pleased with her when she is finished. I've built two, Bella and the little fishing boat. I still think the Bella is probably the best boat I have built, always looks so good on the water and sails very well.

Started building a aeronaut jenny. 1930 style motor boat. Quality of the kit is really good. Stuck waiting for sanding sealer to continue. 🤔
