Built in 1903, the sleek, black, steel-hulled Atlantic not only won the prestigious trans-Atlantic race, she set a record for a sailing vessel, unbeaten until 1980, of 12 days, 4 hours, 1 minute and 19 seconds. Powered by steam auxiliary engine, she sported a special low-drag propeller and a folding funnel, both of which were removed for racing.

This kit contains machine-carved basswood hull, finely-cast Britannia pewter and etched brass fittings, wood, sheet styrene and all other needed materials.
