      Description

      Trimaran Merihobus
      The Trimaran Merihobus is a classic multihull sailboat designed to showcase an impressive array of details, including winches, rigging, and hulls—making it a highly realistic miniature replica of real-life prototypes. The body of the sailboat is built in an open “skeleton” style, providing excellent visibility of the inner mechanisms and design, including such features as bulkheads, frames, and beams. The rear rudder blade is controlled by ropes connected through the pontoons to the master wheel at the stern. Hydrofoils on the sides of the pontoons ensure stability and create the visual effect of lift. The pontoons are attached to the main hull with a load-bearing frame that matches the style of the boat and includes a boat davit mechanism with a winch.

      The mainsail and fore staysail on the mast can be raised or lowered, just like on real trimarans. The mainsail is set on the mast groove using the main top halyard, while the staysail rolls up on its stay. At the front, under the bowsprit, you’ll find the staysail’s winch drum. Sail booms are controlled by a lever that pulls the boom sheet. And of course, there’s a delightful final touch—a tiny seahorse carved into the bow of the boat. This curious sea creature, also known as a merihobus, gave your vessel its name.

      Vendor Info

      UGEARS, a Ukraine-based company developed the concept of self-assembly wooden models in 2015. UGEARS assembly kits offer a way to experience a world of real-life tiny mechanics. The building sets are two-in-one: a puzzle and a toy. On the one hand, they are exciting to put together, while on the other, after the assembly is complete, the models evolve into the most sophisticated toys that are amusing to kids, “ Look, the train looks like a real one!”, yet engaging for adults, “Wow, check the way the mechanical drive is connected; what is its overall gear ratio?”
