Important Safety Notes - GRAUPNER JULES VERNE Instructions De Montage

Building instructions for the JULES VERNE, Order No. 2097
The full-size vessel
Our model of the JULES VERNE was developed in conjunction with the Dutch designer Rene van der
Velden. This is a "retro-look" motor yacht, and is similar in shape and colour scheme to the characteristic
mahogany vessels constructed in the 1930's and 40's. The full-size JULES VERNE was built in 1998, and
combines in an ideal way the essential design elements of those earlier boats with modern facilities and
refinements. The result is one of the most elegant yachts of the "retro-style" to be produced to date. For
reasons of cost timber-built hulls are virtually never built nowadays, so the hull of the JULES VERNE is
made of aluminium and painted mahogany brown. The boat's two engines, each rated at 660 BHP, endow
it with a top speed of around 26 kn.
The model
Our model of the JULES VERNE is designed to a scale of 1:20, and is based on the designer's original
drawings. The kit does call for certain manual skills and a modicum of experience in marine modelling, so
it is only recommended to the experienced boat-builder. All the rounded parts are vacuum-moulded in
ABS, and the parts which normally present problems are also CNC-trimmed (machined), including the
hull, stern steps, deck and superstructure. The wooden parts are die-stamped, machined or laser-cut in
order to shorten the building time. The kit includes injection-moulded plastic fittings such as windscreen
wipers, ventilators, lamps, radar unit etc. as standard. The lamp housings in the fittings set can easily be
made to work by fitting miniature 2.4 mm Ø filament bulbs.
