The term dhow does not refer to a single type of ship, such as a cog or brig, but to an entire family of different types with sometimes major differences. The collective term dhow currently describes about 60 different ship types, from small single-masted boats with a displacement of 10 tons for fishing to transport ships carrying up to 200 tons. The common feature of all dhows is a long stempost rising diagonally from the keel.

The ship model shown is a true-to-scale replica of the Dhow.
This model was made 100% by hand with precision using traditional frame construction with hull planking.
Exotic fine woods such as teak, mahogany, rosewood or mango are used, resulting in a valuable and decorative premium model.
After completion, the hull is carefully sanded and, where intended, varnished. 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 solid cotton threads. Some of these ropes have special knots that allow the ropes to be re-tensioned at any time.
Our models undergo strict quality control so that we can offer you a flawless product. The satisfaction of our customers is our highest priority. All models are delivered fully assembled.
