The San Rafael was a typical "redonda" caravel with two masts of square sails and one lateen sail. It had a light hull with low immersion, which gave this ship an excellent handling in rough seas. Other ships of this period were heavier and less manageable. The San Rafael took part in the African coasts expedition of the Portuguese explorer Alfonso Goncalvez.
MAMOLI puts on the market a range of kits that, though in miniature, maintains unchanged the concept of ship building. The models construction is made easier by the moulded hull as well as by the schematisation of the plans in actual size 1:1. A simple reading for the beginners in the ship modelling and a plain work for the boys too. Anyway, in consideration of the exclusive use of a precious material such as wood, the built model is so winning as to be on a level with more difficult productions on less reduced scales.
