The hulls I import and then I do the rest. Plank on bulkhead construction overseas is relatively fast and is down to an art. For me, its not worth the time.
I basically recover the ship from the other side of the pond. The ships will arrive within 10 feet (generally) from where you point them (unless the wind dramatically changes direction). Free sailing is really a lost art. It was a big deal in the US in the 20's, 30's, 40's etc... then, it evolved into a rich mans hobby and new blood did not come in for the most part. As the old guys died off, so did the hobby until RC came on strong.
