Artesania Latina 19017 1/20 Fishing Boat La Provençale
Overview
The La Provençale wooden model kit is a beautifully crafted 1:20 scale replica of a traditional fishing vessel from the French Riviera. Updated in 2023, this model captures the distinctive Mediterranean character of these small working boats, known for their elegant lines and practical design. Ideal for beginners, it offers a simple yet rewarding introduction to wooden ship modelling.
Featuring a flat-bottomed hull and two classic lateen sails, La Provençale was designed for coastal fishing, allowing easy access to shallow beaches and hidden coves. Built historically from leftover timber used in larger boat construction, these vessels were commonly used by poorer fishermen and were both resourceful and functional—though challenging to handle in rough weather.
This model kit recreates those authentic features with precision laser-cut wooden components, quality fittings, and hand-sewn sails. Combined with modern video-guided instructions, it provides an enjoyable and educational building experience.
