History of the Arab Dhow:
Discover Sultan, a wooden model ship of this traditional Arabian dhow
from the coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, India and East Africa. This
boat was the primary instrument in the commerce and in the propagation
of the Islamic faith. Also, the dhow was mainly used as cargo ship:
grain, fish, minerals and even slaves.
The exact origin of the dhow is unknown, although its appearance seems
to be linked to Islam. Revolutionary in naval history for its
triangular sails and practically unchanged since its initial designs,
it is believed that the dhow was the germ for the construction of
Venetian galleys and caravels, favoring the creation of larger ships
with mixed sails. The dhows are still sailing along the shores of the
Indian Ocean.
Contents of the Model
Ship Kit:
The Sultan dhow wooden model ship kit contains all
the parts you need to build the model, a faithful replica of the
original boat, thanks mainly to its design of false keel and frames. It
is a 1:60 scale model, an elegant two-sided boat primordial on naval
modeling. Once it is built, this faithful miniature replica measures
15.35'' (390mm) length, 4.92'' (125mm) width and 17.32'' (440mm) height.
The modeling kit Sultan contains a set of parts of board, precut by
high precision laser; wood, brass and foundry parts; wood and birch
veneer; high-quality brass and photo-etched parts; hand-sewn sails
ready to be placed; cotton thread and exhibition base to expose the
model ship once it is finished.
For its assembly, you can follow our super detailed step-by-step guide
on DVD for computer -PC & MAC-. The kit does not include
printed instructions.
