There are two versions of the T37 to choose from. The two versions are the Standard version and the Racing Upgraded version. You can build the standard T37 at Family Boatbuilding for $314.50 ($295 + 19.50 for us to ship your boat to the event and have it waiting for you). This includes everything for building and sailing your boat except paint and varnish and AA batteries (all of the full power radio control gear is included). Plus you get to work with an excellent instructor, and you get the fun of working together with other builders who are building their boats at the same time. Last year was a terrific success with 8 beautiful T37 Racing Sloops being built. We had a great time all working together! For more information about the T37 Racing Sloop click on T37 RC Model Sailboat.

There is also a Racing Upgraded version of the T37. This includes carbon fiber spars, a more powerful sail control servo, boom vang, double throw sheeting system, and multiple sail trim systems for the ultimate in T37 performance. To build the Racing Upgraded Version of the T37 at Family boatbuilding, the cost is $405.50 ($386 + 19.50 for shipping). For more information click on T37 RC Model Sailboat Racing Upgrade Version

The T37 is one of the most popular model racing classes in the world with over 2250 of the T37s sailing now. The T37 is an American Model Yachting Association sanctioned Racing Class and one of the only wooden boats in the AMYA. Almost all of the T37s have been built by the owners from our kits. This means that each boat is special and unique and has its own look and its own personality. At the same time, each boat is evenly matched and can race as an exciting one design class.

As a fun boat for a casual afternoon at a beautiful lake, the T37 is perfect. The 3/4 ounce nylon spinnaker cloth sails fill with an almost imperceptible breeze and your boat will glide off across still water as though by magic. In strong winds, the 12 inch deep ballasted keel will keep the T37 steady and sailing fast in winds gusting over 20 mph when many other model boats are being overpowered. Completely self-righting and sealed with a sliding hatch, the T37 is absolutely seaworthy.

Building your T37 is a fun project that anyone can be successful at. It is a great first time boatbuilding experience with very clear instructions for a beginner. It is a fun and rewarding project for an experienced craftsperson with all of the materials being the highest quality. The boats are built from 3 mm okume marine plywood and assembled with Gougeon Brothers WEST System Marine Epoxy. Simple construction combined with elegant lines makes the T37 very fast and very light.

The T37 is 37 inches long and 5 feet high overall and weighs just 5 pounds ready to sail. For easy transporting, the T37 mast slides out in about one minute, just unhook the shrouds, forestay and backstay. All of the radio control gear for sailing your boat is included in the T37 kit. All you need are AA batteries.

Tippecanoe Boats has built over 65,000 boats which are sailing in more than 60 countries around the world! For 30 years Tippecanoe Boats has built the finest wooden model sailboats that you can ever own.

We will have a fun weekend and you will be going home with your own boat ready to paint and varnish and almost ready to sail. Any steps you still have to complete are covered in full detail in the building instructions.

The T37 building experience still leaves plenty of time over the three days to enjoy many other aspects of the Mystic Wooden Boat Festival. Your T37 Racing Sloop building kit will be shipped complete to the Wooden Boat Festival at Mystic Seaport and will be waiting for you when you arrive at the Festival on Friday morning.

Join us to build a boat that will be hours of fun wherever you take it, the most convenient and affordable wooden boat you will ever own, and a true yacht that you can be proud of. A lot of families start with one T37 and end up with several. No moorage, no insurance, no yard fees and some day your grandchildren and their children may be sailing the boat that you built. You can build a family classic at Family Boatbuilding this summer!

Eight of the T37s were built in Family Bopatbuilding at the show in 2013. This is the same boat that we will be building in the Family Boatbuilding activity again this year in 2014!

PLEASE ENJOY THE REST OF OUR WEB SITE! MY FAVORITE SECTION IS THE OWNER'S PICTURES PAGES with pictures of our boats from all over the world. We currently have over 65,000 boats sailing in more than 62 countries around the world.

You may have seen our boats recently in the Steven Soderberg film, "Side Effects" starring Jude Law, Channing Tatum and Rooney Mara or in the Nordstrom's Spring Fashion Display "Into the Blue", or in the Wall Street Journal section "Off Duty 50" where we came right after collecting classic Corvettes as a fun leisure passtime, or maybe you saw the T37 PNMYC fleet racing on the cover of Northwest Yachting Magazine! You will never have a better model yacht than a Tippecanoe!
