This is the John Alden Sloop Sailboat kit from Midwest.
The boat is built on a strongback using a basswood keel and frames which
self-align to create a hull structure ready for planking. Strips
are added to create the hull shape. The hull is then removed
from the strongback and the interior details are added.
