Description of build, including materials: This is a Constructo kit from Spain. I got it from another Shipwrights estate partially completed, but missing many parts. I re-painted it, finished and rigged it. I built the case for it as well.

Ship’s history: I don’t know much about it. The directions stated that she sailed out of North America. She is a Marconi rigged schooner, this is a fairly modern rig. I would place the Blue Goose as being designed and built in the 1930’s in America, as a pleasure yacht.
