The Ocean Exploration Yacht is a prefabricated wooden model from Wood Trick to add to your collection. It was inspired by the yacht Calypso, which belonged to the famous Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The ocean explorer and inventor shot dozens of films about the underwater world, developed the first scuba tank, and considerably contributed to exploring the sea depths. We at Wood Trick decided to create a wooden 3D model to honor his memory.
Features of Wood Trick's Ocean Exploration Yacht model:
All parts are made of eco-friendly wood; therefore, our model is safe for the environment.
The model has a unique hand mechanism that sets the boat in motion. Thanks to the wheels, it can travel 3–4 meters on a flat surface.
We've added a lot of nautical-themed attributes to our model. For example, you can see special research equipment on board because Calypso is a research vessel. Jacques-Yves Cousteau designed much of his instruments himself, and they have always been on his ship.
A detailed instruction manual is included. It will help you build a 3D model out of wood and get absolute pleasure out of it!
The model kit comes with clear, simple and very detailed instruction with illustrations.
Wood Trick wooden models are made from safe and environmentally friendly wood from all-natural trees without any added toxins or glues.
Even children can play with WoodTrick 3D puzzles, although we recommend parental supervision.
Every Wood Trick model:
enhances creative thinking skills,
promotes critical thinking skills,
develops problem-solving and reasoning skills.
