Hull

Only the finest quality woods are used to make our models. Each species is carefully selected for its strength and durability.

Made of mahogany, fine wood and resin, our models are built planked on hull : each wooden slat is glued individually to produce an authentic hull and deck.

Sanding and varnishing

Next the model is sanded and varnished.
In order to obtain a perfectly smooth hull and deck, 10 layers of varnish are applied, intersected with increasingly fine stages of sanding. The final phase consists in applying several layers of gloss varnish to produce a " mirror effect " characteristic of these boats.

Deck parts and saddlery

Our jeweller uses detailed photographs to create specific deck part moulds, from which individual parts are crafted using brass and chrome brass.
All saddleries and elements of sails are assembled and sewed by hand.
