    Hello all. As you can see...I’m new here. I am a yacht Captain living in Western Massachusetts when not moving boats.
    Although I’ve been intrigued by model warfare, I’ve not jumped in yet. I am currently building my 18th boat model, my 4th one from scratch, a 68” model of the three masted topsail schooner “Atlantic”. I hope I can read and learn from this group!

    Welcome. My dad has a small desktop model of the Atlantic, very pretty boat. An RC schooner is on my someday list, it would be cool to see pictures of your build

The first photo is of the boat “on the beach” at our house in MA. The next three are this season since we got here in February. I was able to float it one day to see how it sat on its water line. Last photo was today hanging the first 5 of 9 sails.
