Many of the pieces in this model are misaligned, and so it cannot be assembled by just following the instructions. Some pieces are off by over half an inch, which is inconceivable for a laser-cut model. It's just complete garbage.

I bought this boat for my teen age son, a few years ago, after he built the a similar boat. He liked building this boat even more that the other boat. I liked that it was a true scale model. He has sailed this boat in the backyard pool a couple of times. Very cool.
