This is from an early Sterling EMMA C. BERRY 2 masted schooner kit. Scale: 3/4" (1/16). 49.5" length, 10.75" beam, 40" height. The original boat was built in 1866 as a gaff sloop in Noank CT., and converted to a two-masted schooner in 1889. All-wood hull, masts, spars, and superstructure. I added a sail winch and extended keel to make her more responsive, especially upwind.

What a beautiful build! The Emma C. Berry has always been one of my favorite classic American schooners, and you've done a wonderful job capturing her graceful lines.
I especially admire that you converted her for R/C sailing by adding a sail winch and extending the keel.
It's always interesting to see a builder improve a classic kit while still respecting the character of the original vessel.
At nearly 50 inches long, she must be an impressive sight under sail.
I hope you have many enjoyable hours on the water with her.
Thank you for sharing such a fine model with the rest of us. She's a beauty!
