Comments:
Detailed construction methods allow
modeler to form the hull by attaching planking strakes to the false
keel and frames. Modeler will want to file and sand the whole hull
until you have a compact and smooth surface.
Also, each mast and yard
arm are hand sanded to the correct shape. All deck accessories must be
built, painted or stained for added realism. Taking the time to do the
detail work will give, a truly realistic boat model and very rewarding
building experience for the modeler.

constructed in the Royal Shipyard at Gurarnizo (Santander) and launched
