Introducing our Virginia style sloop in 6MM scale. Voted as the most desired upgrade from our older Harbormaster series kit by our community discord, and in celebration of America’s 250th we present the Virginia Sloop Captain’s Edition!

6MM scale Captain’s Edition : This is the latest 6MM version of this kit featuring MSLA resin 3D printed hull, masts, shrouds and sails. The kit features an improved resin that has high detail but maintains part flexibility. The goal of the Captain’s Edition is to get a model on the table for gameplay in a faster manner then previous versions.

Historic ship type:

Sloops originated from from small speedy vessels like the Dutch Yachts, and then evolved highly in Bermuda and the Caribbean , and along the Chesapeake bay. Sloops made excellent small warships as they sail upwind well and are small enough to operate in coastal waters as well. An example of the Virginia built sloops comes from a drawing found by nautical historian Howard I. Chapelle in European archives (an older one from 1768). This sloop reflects the style and lines of Chappelle’s drawing, but represents a slightly larger design. During the American War for independence sloops were used both as privateers and purchased by the Continental Navy.
