Monterey Fishing Boat 1-20 Billings Boats

Even though this boat is known as a Monterey" the design of this craft originated in San Francisco Bay, California (90 miles from Monterey). This boat was built at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and was given the nickname Monterey. The immigrant Italian craftsman in San Francisco patterned the Monterey after the Meditteranean Lateen Sail Falucca with modifications to accept a gas engine. So this is a true USA creation! These boats were built by eye with no plans used. The craftsmen simply started with a general double ended design with an ample beam and clipper bow, and built the remainder by eye. Kit includes laser cut wooden hull and wooden strips, stern tube with shaft, rudder fittings set, rigging thread, plan and manual. American fishing boat. 1:20 scale Wooden hull 5.91"H 22.04"L 7.87"W
