serenity’s dream

Serenity’s Dream is a spring-powered sailboat capable of performing a series of tacking maneuvers over a distance of up to 4 meters on a flat surface. To operate it, set the Start/Stop switch — located on the cabin roof — to the Stop position. Remove the winding key from the foredeck, insert it into the ratchet mechanism on the starboard hull and give it a few turns. Place the key back on the deck, set the boat on a flat surface, flip the Start/Stop switch to Start and watch as your yacht sets sail, executing a series of graceful, zigzagging tacking maneuvers.

The realistic details of this DIY wooden sailboat model include two rigged paper sails — a mainsail and a jib — featuring a furling system that allows you to roll and unroll the sails with a simple twist. Notable features include an elegant cabin, stanchions and rope railings lining the deck, dual helms for steering from above, a retractable anchor, laser-engraved decking on the bow and a reverse transom bearing the engraved Ugears logo.

The Serenity’s Dream sailboat model consists of 365 parts and is rated as Medium difficulty, making it a project well-suited for modelers with some experience. As with other Ugears mechanical marvels, no glue or special tools are required to build this beauty: simply pop the laser-cut pieces out of the high-quality composite wood boards and snap them together. Illustrated instructions in 11 languages ​​(English, German, Ukrainian, French, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Chinese and Korean) guide the assembly and each kit includes a piece of sandpaper and wax to smooth and lubricate moving parts.
