New Ages of Sail Online Shop – Launch Delay
Due to a couple unresolved issues, the launch of our new online shop has been delayed! We hope to have the issues taken care of this week, so that we can switching over our online store, AgesofSail.com, to a system that we think will be easier to use, and will give us better inventory tracking, and allow us to provide overall better service. Keep watching for announcements of the new launch, which will hopefully be taking place early next week!

Amati Endeavour – America’s Cup Model Kits
With OcCre getting a lot of attention with the release of their new America’s Cup challenger Endeavour kit, it seems like a good time to highlight the whole range of America’s Cup kits that are available from Amati, beginning with the big, 1/35 scale wooden model kit of the Endeavour, the 1934 J-boat that challenged the Rainbow for the coveted America’s Cup.
At this scale, this wooden plank-on-bulkhead Amati kit builds into a BIG model, at over 46″ long, allowing the modeler to show off the many fine details that Amati designed into it, including Pre-finished wood, cast metal and brass fittings, as well as photo-etched brass parts.
Or, if you’re looking for something to fit a smaller space, or that is considerably easier to build, Amati has you covered with their 1/80-scale wooden hull kit. At just under 19″ long, this model still features lots of great details and a wooden plank-on-bulkhead construction hull. This kit even provides you with a selection of useful tools, making it ideal for the modelers building his or her first planked boat model.
And if you’re really new to ship modeling, or are just looking for a nice quick project, but still want a beautiful model, Amati offers this same boat in 1/80 scale, but with a polystyrene hull, perfectly shaped, just needing priming and painting.
When it comes to America’s Cup, whatever your skill level, Amati has you covered. Check out the whole line at Ages of Sail here.
