« Le puzzle est très délicat, il faut faire attention lors du démontage des pièces à la fin. Je l'ai renforcé avec de la colle rapide, et le résultat est satisfaisant. J'aurais apprécié davantage s'il y avait une option dans l'explication graphique pour en expliquer davantage. Il y a 3 pièces supplémentaires pour les quatre pièces qui ne sont pas spécifiées dans l'explication. D… »
Three masts, fabric sails, and a wooden wave beneath the hull.
This one doesn't go unnoticed: 39 cm long, 34 cm tall, three masts rigged with white fabric sails and a base carved in the shape of waves. On deck, a ship's wheel, openwork railings and an anchor; at the bow, an engraved rosette. The light plywood parts slot together.
A large wooden model ship kit with fabric sails
You start with the hull, whose frames slot together before being covered with long planks. Then the deck, the railings, the ship's wheel and the anchor, and finally the three masts. The white fabric sails, stretched across their yards, give the boat the look of a real sailing ship. Last of all, it settles onto its carved wave base.
Who is it for? For a piece that dresses up a shelf and catches the eye from across the room, without diving into complex rigging.
Dimensions once built: 39 × 10 cm footprint, 34 cm tall.

Your questions about the White-Sailed Tall Ship
Your questions about this kit
Do I need glue?
The parts slot together. On a model this size, a drop of wood glue on the masts makes them even sturdier: our guide to glue for wooden model kits helps you choose.
Are the sails wood or fabric?
White fabric, stretched across the yards. That's what sets it apart from our Little Display Sailboat, which has wooden sails.
How do I protect it once it's finished?
The sails attract dust: a soft brush now and then is all it takes. Our article on how to protect your model kit has more tips, display cases included.

How the White-Sailed Tall Ship compares to our other kits
For an even more imposing ship, take a look at The Flagship and its 46 cm. And if you want to move on to thread rigging, The Harco Sailboat.
Thirty-nine centimeters of sail. And not a drop of water.
