OCCRE 1/100 Scale Wooden Model of the Albatros Sailboat

1/100 Scale Wooden Model of the Schooner Albatros

OCCRE 12500

The schooner that hunted down smugglers (19th century)

The Albatros is not a replica of any specific ship; it is an Occre design faithful to 19th-century schooners. These two-masted sailing ships were the fastest in their class, which is why governments used them as coast guard vessels: chasing down smugglers required speed more than cannons. A simple rig, a small crew, and sleek lines. The very qualities that made them ideal for that mission make the Albatros the perfect model for another: building your first boat.
