The model is certainly not mass-produced; although a finished epoxy hull is included in the kit and all wooden parts for the deck and the superstructures are also available as laser parts and thus the construction is quick and easy. The deck is completed as a separate supporting assembly completely outside the fuselage and then glued as a whole into the fuselage. All materials needed for the construction are included. Only the fittings for rigging the mast, such as brass blocks, turnbuckles, stainless steel rope, linen are included in the specially supplied rig set, which will be needed later. For lulls the model was fitted with an auxiliary drive, which is available as a further accessory set.
For the sails drawings are included in 1: 1. You can either purchase fabric for sewing or a finished sail set. The detailed construction manual, in which each construction stage is shown in pictures, and also describes the detailed faithful control of the two headsails, and a detailed blueprint make the construction of the model even for the non-expert easily possible. The equipment can be done with 2 or 3 sail winches. The winches can also be installed only after completion of the model.
