Tuiga
Price range: $114.83 through $230.83
The design for Tuiga was drawn in 1908 by William Fife III. The yacht was built for the Duke of Medinacelli and looked confusingly similar to the Spanish king’s “Hispania”.
Both yachts competed against each other in many races, but Tuiga was never able to defeat “Hispania”. Later, the yacht changed owners frequently and her condition deteriorated significantly.
In Cyprus, Tuiga was discovered in 1989 by Duncan Walker, the owner of “Fairlie Restorations”. Walker acquired Tuiga for a lover of classic yachts and transferred the makeshift-repaired yacht to Mallorca in winter. The journey proved difficult; Tuiga leaked so badly that the crew seriously considered abandoning the boat. In March, Tuiga was brought to England and authentically restored at “Fairlie Restorations”. Since then, Tuiga has been the flagship of the Yacht Club de Monaco.

The ship model shown is a scale replica of the Tuiga.
This model was made 100% by hand and with precision using traditional frame construction with hull planking.
Exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, among others, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model as the finished product.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and painted where intended. The model is then coated with a protective clear varnish.
Ornaments and decorative details (e.g. cannons, portholes, anchors, dials and wheels …) are made of brass, chrome or other high-quality metals.
The sails are made of fabric or silk, the masts of wood, and the rigging of sturdy cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be tightened at any time.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
