FWIW, the old globe has the North Pole at maximum inclination on June 21 and we always called that the Summer Solstice.
Yeah - equinox is ~March 21 or September 21
The Other Matt
Matt has it right.
Unfortunately a new kit release on March or September 21 was out of the question.
And the name solstice just did not quite sound right for this model.
Pictures are on the way!

Peter,
What is the waterline length?
The lines look familiar. What full sized boat is it styled after?

Kinda reminds me of the Albin Vega…
The Other Matt
Na. The Albin Vega has a shallow bilge with a thin but long iron
keel with little or no ‘deadwood’, this hull and deck
have a similarity to an old Hurley 22 or a Cutlass 27. Both UK designs of the early 70’s
Cheers
