The Tuiga is a sailing ship of the beginning of the 20th century, launched in 1909, financed by the Duke of Medinacelli to compete with the Hispania sailing ship of King of Spain. Tuiga was drawn by William Fyfe (also architect of the Pen Duick) according to the new JI standard of 15 m boats for the regattas of 1907. After 4 years of regattas, it was yielded in 1913, then passed from hand to hand before being finally bought by the Yacht Club of Monaco.

The model

This model of boat is of museum quality. It is manufactured by hand by Malagasy craftsmen under the direction of Herve Scrive. For an optimal fidelity to the model, the construction of the ship model uses the process of assembly of broadsides on couples (the boards forming the hull are fixed on the couples forming the internal frame of the ship). The bridge of the boat is lathed as on a full scale boat. The hull and the bridge are varnished in several layers.

The vessel is made out of exotic wood chosen for their qualities in model making and for their colors.

Each ship model is numbered and accompanied by a historical summary engraved on wood.

This model of boat, assembled by hand during tens or of hundreds of hours of craftmen specialized in hulls manufacturing, rigging, installation of veils etc, is not a kit, but is fully assembled and ready to be admired.
