The Ocean Explorer Yacht model is a scaled-down replica of the Calypso research yacht. This ship was an ordinary minesweeper until world-famous oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau converted it.
This model from Wood Trick consists of wooden parts, toothpicks and rubber bands. The kit comes with detailed instructions, so even with no model building experience, you can quickly assemble our research yacht!
All of the materials we use to create the model are sustainable, so you dont have to worry about harming the environment.
Our research yacht model has a manual mechanism that winds a mechanical motor. Thanks to it, the yacht can travel 3?4 meters on a straight surface.
While building our model of the research yacht, we tried to reproduce the minor details. Aboard the boat you will find copies of special equipment thatJacques-Yves Cousteau used in his research.
The Calypso is one of the most famous ships in the world. Currently, the ship is under reconstruction and is being remodeled into a museum in memory of Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his explorations. We decided to create our wooden model to pay tribute to the great scientist.
The model will appeal to all lovers of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, as well as fans of marine exploration and yachts. It wont be difficult to assemble if you follow all the instructions. The completed model will perfectly decorate your table or shelf and will be an excellent gift for fans of exciting puzzles!

Wood Trick is about passing the craftsmanship and knowledge from generation to generation, near the family fireplace at home or at the grandfathers old wooden table, full of memories.
It is no secret that puzzles make a person’s brain see things in terms of parts and wholes. Wood Trick 3D Mechanical Models appeal to people from different age groups.
Building one model with the entire family creates a great bonding experience for each family member.
“Wood Trick” constructor kits will bring the family together by keeping children away from eye-straining tablets, and instead promoting comprehensive brain development. This development is achieved by introducing children to the (fun)damentals of mechanics, cultivating patience and attention, promoting fine motor skills, and encouraging imaginative artistic thinking.
