Product detailed description

Description: Tuna fishing is a demanding job that requires a very durable and fast vessel with excellent nautical properties. The top sailing type of the late 19th century was the "dundee", a vessel with a displacement of 50-60 tons with a massive sail and a crew of 12 men. The tuna are caught on fishing rods - the boat was equipped with up to 20 m long "tangon" rods, which tilted over the hips when fishing. Each tangon usually carried 7 rods, two more rods were tied to the stern and the third, very long, to the top of the mainmast. Marie Jeanne is designed for intermediate shipbuilders; is designed as a non-floating desktop mockup.

Marie Jeanne has a hull of classic wooden construction from laser-cut parts with a plank plating and a wooden deck. The kit contains all the wooden and plastic parts needed to complete the model, mock-up accessories, tarpaulins, etc.
