Carried by the wayward wind of travel, the graceful and stylish Trimaran
Merihobus from Ugears invites you to leave your peaceful harbour and sail away
on an exciting marine mechanical adventure.
The body of the sailboat is made in the “skeleton” style to ensure good
visibility of the mechanism and the design of the sailboat, including such
details as bulkheads, frames and beams. The rear rudder blade is steered by the
ropes connected through the pontoons to the master wheel on the stern. The
hydrofins on the side of the pontoons make the model stable and steady while
creating a visual effect of the elevation of the model. The side pontoons are
attached to the main body with a load frame designed to match the style of the
hulls. Also, they carry a boat davit mechanism with a winch.
The mainsail and fore staysail on the mast can be set or taken in, just
like on real trimarans. The mainsail of the Trimaran Merihobus is set on the
mast groove with the main top halliard. The staysail “rolls up” on a stay. At
the front under the bowsprit you will find the staysail’s winch drum. Sail
booms are operated by a lever that pulls the sheet of the boom.
The model comes with several templates for a flag of a ship. Create your
own design and using the winch, hoist the ensign up the mast.
The anchor cable winch based inside the Trimaran’s body has an
automatic-tensioning mechanism that picks up an anchor.
Sail away with this outstanding graceful sea beauty. Where will she take
you today - around-the-world cruise? overseas expedition? Leave the rough seas
of the daily grind and voyage to faraway lands with the Trimaran Merihobus from
Ugears.
The Ugears Trimaran Merihobus model kit is made of sustainably sourced high-grade
wood and has everything you might need for assembly. The quality of the
parts is top-notch: a laser method is used for cutting items from a plywood
board that provides precise hairline cuts. The details have to be pulled out of
the boards and assembled to create a complete model.
Self-assembly, no glue needed.
