rattleSnake, priVateer The privateer Rattlesnake was built at Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1780. Despite her moderate size of 89 feet on deck, she was fast and weatherly. She sailed with 85 men and carried twenty 6-pounders and captured more than one million dollars worth of British goods on her first cruise. She was seized by the 44-gun HMS Assurance in 1783, sent to England and taken into the Royal Navy. Rattlesnake features plank-on-bulkhead construction with laser cut basswood components and leadfree Britannia metal castings. Brass fittings include eyebolts, and rings, wire and strip material. Your finished kit will be an authentic replica, with four sizes each of gray running and black standing rigging, 110 wooden deadeyes and more than 200 blocks. Four sheets of plans (two by George F. Campbell outlining hull details and rig plan, plus two by Ben Lankford showing plank-on-bulkhead hull construction) and a comprehensive 48 page illustrated instruction book guide you to a memoClick to see Rattlesnake parts list. rable Rattlesnake model.
