Artesania Latina Le Reynard Corsair Cutter
Discover Le Renard, a wooden model of the cutter launched in Saint Malo in 1812 by the famous corsair Robert Surcouf with the main objective of attacking and catching enemy ships of commerce of France. Its actions and its legacy towards the city of Saint Malo make the Renard a symbol of the strong French naval identity.

In 1991, a replica of the original Renard was launched, which still continues with pride on the waters to the delight of its visitors.
Once it is built, this faithful miniature replica measures 24.21'' (615mm) length, 9.37'' (238mm) width and 22.04'' (560mm) height.

HISTORY OF THE DHOW SULTAN: KNOW THE MODEL YOU WILL BUILD
Discover Sultan, a wooden model of this traditional Arabian dhow from the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, India and East Africa. This ship was the primary instrument in the commerce and in the propagation of the Islamic faith. Also, the dhow was mainly used as cargo ship, from grain and fish to slaves or minerals.
The exact origin of the dhow is unknown, although its appearance seems to be linked to Islam. Revolutionary in naval history for its triangular sails and practically unchanged since its initial designs, it is believed that the dhow was the germ for the construction of Venetian galleys and caravels, favoring the creation of larger ships with mixed sails. The dhows are still sailing along the shores of the Indian Ocean.
