Tserniki de Mytilene with sprit sail

The model reproduces a traditional Mytilene boat, with a hull belonging to the “tserniki” class, a type of boat that was built in various dimensions: and used in all types of maritime activity, both for trade-as for fishing and that carried different types of sails. In this case the model appears paired with a sprit sail, which is called "sacoleva" by the Greeks.

I have obtained the information for the construction of this model on the web naftotopos.gr, and very especially the model of this boat that appears made by Thanasis de Giannikos.

Features of the model:

Length: 102 mm.
Total length: 130mm.
Sleeve: 29 mm.
Scale: 1: 100

You have produces a fine small detailed model, scaled from the palm of your hand.
If you are interested in the development of the "sprit" sail a research paper may be of interest to Google up and read,
