Billing Boats – 1/65 Scale – Bluenose 576 Wooden Model Kit

In shipping and yachting history you will find the Schooner Bluenose is mentioned several times. She was launched in Nova Scotia in 1921, and was built as a fishing boat to operate in the rough waters off the coast of Newfoundland. Very soon her speed became apparent and she won all the great classic sailing races on the American east Coast. Just imagine a fishing boat which became the fastest yacht. Her fame was widespread and she was stamped on coins and printed on stamps. Her glorious career was finished in 1946 on a reef near Haiti, but the memory about her is still going strong. So much so, that enough money was raised to launch an exact copy, the Bluenose II in 1964. Since then this boat has been a vivid and very fine symbol of bygone days.
