In spite of the large size of the Model, much thought has gone into the matter of transport. Bluenose will easily fit into all but the smallest of Cars, there is no need for Trailers, or large Vans.
Both Masts are removable, they are both Deck Stepped, the Bowsprit slides in, onto the Hull and the large Keel and Ballast can be quickly taken off, when Sailing is finished.
All the Standing Rigging is of fixed lengths of Stainless Steel cable, the Masts are jacked up at their Bases, to tension and set the rigging, when preparing to sail.
