It might be because it is pretty simple to build, or that it's a handsome boat. But because so many folks order two, we think it is because they are so much fun to race.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade with precision pre-cut balsa frames and mahogany planking, the kit includes plans, thorough instructions, nylon sails, line for rigging, and hardware. Plus it has a lead weight which you attach to the bottom of the centerboard if you are going to sail it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Lightning scale replica is a great way to learn about boats, without having to spend the time on precise cutting. You supply the varnish, paint, glue, and a few household tools, everything else is included. Designed for sailing on your favorite \"golden pond\" or as a handsome addition to your mantelpiece. Couple of building tips: clothespins make great clamps, and styrofoam (not the corn-starch based type) peanuts make great flotation under the foreward and aft decks. This model is not designed for remote control. If you sail on a larger pond and don't have a chase boat, kite string\/spool are very handy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1\" =1'\u003cbr\u003eLOA: 19\" \u003cbr\u003eBeam: 6 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 26\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote: that stand in the photo isn't included... we made that in just a few minutes from scrap wood.
