This Spanish Navy's 4 Masted Naval Training Academy Training ship was launched in Cadiz on the 5th of March 1927. In preparation for the great race of 3,600 miles between Lisbon and Hamilton in 1964, some of her sails were amended and after some hard training the ship reached a speed of 15 knots. She has a crew of 36 officers, 143 trainee sailors and 70 Marines. The ship also has 2 saluting cannons and her total length is 309ft (94.13) meters.

Modeler will want to file and sand the whole hull to obtain a compact and smooth surface. Also, each mast and yard arm must be hand sanded to the correct shape. All deck accessories must be built, painted or stained for added realism. Taking the time to do the detail work will result in a truly realistic boat model and very rewarding building experience for the modeler. |
