Paint Your Model
To paint your model, consider purchasing the Pen Duick Model Paints Pack, which is sold separately. Alternatively, you can opt for the Pen Duick Gift Pack (22418L), which includes the model, specific paints, and some tools to assist in the building process. This pack offers better value compared to buying the products separately.
HISTORY OF THE PEN DUICK
The Pen Duick is a French racing cutter, the first of a series of boats that Éric Tabarly used to achieve multiple victories in various competitions. Born in Nantes in 1931, Tabarly developed a strong passion for the sea and sailing from an early age. He became one of the best sailors in history, breaking records and achieving numerous victories, including those in the English Channel. Despite his success, Tabarly continued to innovate and improve his boats, always pushing the boundaries of what was possible in sailing. His final voyage aboard the Pen Duick ended tragically when he disappeared during a classic sailing yacht regatta in Scotland.
