⛵ Kalóz model sailboat 47 cm – handmade wooden racing sailboat
The Kalóz sailing ship model is a detailed wooden model of a two-person racing sailboat popular among both domestic and European sailors. The white hull, the warm-toned wooden deck, the carefully designed rigging and the hand-stitched sails faithfully evoke the character of the original ship class.
The model is made entirely by hand, it is not a model set. The planked wooden elements are worked, painted and varnished by experienced craftsmen, and then the rigging, sails and small metal fittings are placed by hand. ⚓
