Privateers were privately owned vessels whose owners were commissioned by the government to carry on naval warfare. Privateering is not considered piracy, which is performed without government authorization. During the 18th century, many small single masted ships were armed and used for privateering. These Chesapeake-built vessels were fast and easily maneuverable with a graceful sheer and a low freeboard. They evolved from the Bermuda sloops of c. 1740 and the trim, sharp Virginia schooners found in Steel s Naval Architecture of 1805.

Model Shipways' kit is based on a drawing found by nautical historian Howard I. Chapelle in European archives and reconstructed by John F. Millar, author of Early American Ships. The Armed Virginia Sloop from Model Expo - has all the accuracy and detail seasoned modelers crave, yet it's easy enough for a novice to build.

Double plank-on-bulkhead construction uses laser cut basswood and walnut parts and planking strips. Britannia metal castings and a host of brass, copper and wooden parts duplicate deck hardware and accessories. Six cannon and eight swivel guns serve as armament. Beech mast, yards and boom, over 200 yards of rigging line in four diameters, plus a variety of walnut deadeyes and blocks assure scale accuracy. Hardwood stock for launching ways is also included.

Seven sheets of meticulously drawn plans and a 40 page step-by-step instruction manual help you create a true museum quality replica of Model Shipways' Armed Virginia Sloop.

My wife loves her glove! Comfortable, fits well and is pretty durable in the short term use. Time will tell if it’s durability is long term or not.

Part of Your Skin
Color: White, Size: Large, Style: WeatherSof Prior Generation, Configuration: Worn on Left Hand
Golf clubs are worn to steady your grip, keep the grip clean and most of all--keep the club from flying out of your hand. This glove does the trick and even after 18 holes feels invisible--like part of your skin. It is snug but not constricting. The glove is part mesh and has strategic cutouts so that it breathes. I golf for fun and bought this at the suggestion of a very fine golfing friend. It is well made for a good price.
