Who doesn't love the sea! The sun, sand, the light breeze and the ship rocking on waves!

 

This picture which is stored in the memory by thousands of people and inspired the Ugears team on creation of a chastika of the sea for our collection.

 

The small ship moving to a step of operation of the motor safely overcoming a watercourse or sea waves. The tow has good maneuverability, the increased durability of the case and stability. Also, the model is completed with special devices for towage.

 

Imitation of rocking on waves was the main objective for our engineers during creation of the Tow. The decision became technical but-hau - wheel couple with the axes carried symmetrically. We also hear a sound of the diesel motor at the movement which publishes a rezinomotor, creating load of a driving wheel and asymmetric couple by the principle of the hour pendulum. The internal mechanism is well visible that it gives the chance to admire work of gears and to completely understand the principle of work of this model.

 

In difference from other types of vessels for the tow of one of key characteristics not the speed, but draft or an emphasis, that is force with which it can influence the moved vessel is. Our Tow can hook 2 regular ropes with hooks on small cargo (model on wheels, "the paper ship", etc.) and "to tow" it in almost without loss of speed of the movement. After the full plant the model moves 1.5-3 m depending on a surface.

 

During creation of design there was a wish to leave the most open mechanism and therefore the stylistics of "steampunk" perfectly were suitable for creation of the tow skeleton.

 

The first prototype of the Tow was created in 1736 in England for safe maneuvering near ports and harbors and also cargo transfer against the current of the rivers. Since then the model was continuously improved technically, keeping the basic principle of work of the traction vessel. Today any port in the world doesn't do without it here small, but very necessary ship. In the world there is a large number of models of tows depending on appointment and the navigation area.

Our Tow personified a classical image, having kept smooth lines of boards, a low mast and the wide deck.


This model has the following technical characteristics: 169 parts located on 4 boards, complete with 12 additional parts (rubbers, threads and bees). Like all other Ugears models, the tug is made of high-quality plywood, tested by European laboratories, which is also used in the production of European children's furniture. The model is fully equipped with everything necessary for assembly. The quality of the parts is very high - the laser method is used to cut the elements from the plywood board. The incisions are made by a CNC laser machine, the lines are approximately from human hair. Inside the package you will find plywood boards, from which you only need to squeeze out the finished parts and transform them into a self-propelled tug. You will not need glue or special tools to assemble. The model is assembled on a step-by-step illustrated instruction with explanations in 11 languages ​ ​ (Ukrainian, English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and Korean).
