I also offer top quality blocks, which are made by computer-controlled high speed miller technology (CNC) from hard wood. Blocks have high size and shape constancy thanks to this technology.

Cloth sails
Sailing ship can’t be without sails. Plastic substitute of sails in kits is only pattern for real cloth sails for me. Because for many people is problem to make their own sails, I offer sails made on CNC sewing machine. Sails are processed according to historical documents. These sails excel in precision and craftsmanship. They are from 100% cotton. For a perfect sail remain only patination - painting canvases for example in a dark tea and stitching or gluing Bolt rope or reef points.
Be sure to read the instructions on how to properly rig the rigging and sails, it will save you a lot of work.

I offer several sets of sails for the model, all normal sails and for furling can be combined freely on request.

Standard set of sails, with 18 sails HERE

I wish you lot of fun and nerves of steel in the construction of this beautiful model.
