Amati Nina EA1411

The Amati Nina wooden ship model is accurate reproduction of the real life ship Nina of Columbus's famous fleet. There are not many contemporary evidences on the two caravels, except for the few oblique references that can be found in a resume of Columbus Journal. Nevertheless two things are pretty sure: both ships belonged to the Pinzon family and at the very beginning both of them had lateen sails. Then during the first stop at the Canary Island the Pinta replaced its lateen sails with square sails. This operation, together with the substitution of the mast delayed the departure of four weeks. Columbus always referred to Nina and Pinta as the Caravels.
This wooden boat kit is produced with the amataur modeller in mind, and allows beginners to put together a beautiful wooden ship model without advanced skills. Both kits include all wooden and metal accessories; laser cut wooden keel, frames and decks; sails and flags; wooden planking; masts and riggings; construction plans and instructions.
