The Juan Sebastián de Elcano is a steel four-masted topsail schooner and the official sail training ship of the Spanish Navy. It bears the name of the Spanish explorer Juan Sebastián Elcano.
The ship was launched in 1927 and began its maiden voyage in 1928. It has taken part, and continues to take part, in many international sailing events. It is currently the world’s largest schooner-rigged sailing vessel (not a pure gaff schooner because of the fore topsail yard) and, after Sedov and Kruzenshtern, the third-largest sailing ship in service in the world (cruise ships not counted).

The ship model shown is a true-to-scale replica of the Juan Sebastian de Elcano.
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.
