DETAILS

In 1946 Sparkman and Stevens designed a 66ft. commuter boat for the express purpose of carrying folk to work down the Hudson River into New York, and for weekend pleasure trips to their favourite spots. What a glorious way to beat the traffic. The most famous of these boats was the Dauntless. This gorgeous craft was owned by a prominent New York family who undoubtedly considered the Dauntless a great diversion from their day to day business dealings. Alas, whilst the days of the Dauntless are gone, you can bring them back with this top quality builder's kit. The boat is made almost entirely of 1/8 inch poplar plywood, indeed all parts are cleanly die-cut and accompanied by a variety of detail parts including 38 cast metal fittings. The size of the Dauntless leaves the door wide open for different power sources, the obvious being electric power or even high speed electric power. Use running hardware kit #2341 for all twin screw, twin power methods in the Dauntless.
