Hi Guys,
I am looking for a winter project and am considering getting the Aeronaut Bellisima Yacht kit to build.
Has any member built or sailed this model?
I would appreciate any information or advice regarding this boat.
Thank you in advance.
Ian

Hi - I made Bella - which I think is same model - just smaller !
It was a very well thought out kit and went together very well. The only challenge was getting the hull top sides to pull into the bow and get them to line up with the bottom panels. Final model sails very well. I did add a layer of plywood to each side of the keel - so it could then be "profiled".
The material supplied for the sails - just lightweight "spinnaker" type - worth using something else.
