Hi!

I would like to build a model of a three masted schooner. The schooner I would like to build is of S/V Juliet. It was built in the '70's as a cargo ship and then was re-made into a sail boat and sailed to Antartica. It was later sold and used in the live aboard business and still is today. I have a few pictures of it. Here are some specs.

104ft.
3 masted schooner
12 guests' plus the crew
steel hull

I am new to the hobby and was hoping I could find a model of this boat.

Is this the Juliet that you are talking about?

Ahoy, Jake,
Welcome to Modelshipwrights, mate!

Unfortunately, a three masted schooner in plastic, not a reality...two and four masted schooners (Revell's America, and Imai's Esmerelda) are available, but I do believe if you want to build the Juliet, a near scratchbuild is going to be the only way to achieve this, my friend...

You can build her, but it's going to be a project...you have to weigh out just how much you want to build her, and the amount of work involved in getting there....always a possibility, mate....
