Cargo is a wooden boat firmly rooted among the fishermen of the adriatic coast, widespread throughout the Mediterranean.
On the east coast of the Adriatic Sea she' s known also under the names legut and levut, and then as leuto and liuto in Italy, laudus, laud Katalan in Spain, leudo Ligure on the Ligurian Sea, and even in the XIV century the boat lignetum was built in Dubrovnik.
The name come from the italian word legno, which means wood.
On the island of Korcula she' s called trata, trakta or trajta, and for her exist also the names barka, lađa, vlahinja, boat or gajeta.
She' s the biggest adriatic boat, which reaches a lenght of up to 12 meters, whose capacity is up to 10 tons.
The similarities in design and use with gajeta are such, that it is often difficult to distinguish them.
In Croatia she' s first mentioned in the writings of Trogir 1617 and by now she has developed into a few basic shapes, among which the most distinctive are the cargos of Korcula, Betina and Zadar.
The cargo bases her navigation more on sail than on oars, for this reason has a mast on which outstreched the lateen sail.
Trajta is undoubtedly a cargo boat of Korculan construction, but she has also something of the gajeta' s structural characteristics.
Her name comes from the name of the fishing nets, dragged by such boats. In fact this is a kind of seine net which in Korcula, Smokvica, Lumbarda and Pelješca are called trajta, meaning tow, drag. It comes directly from the latin word tracta, which is feminine passive past particple of the verb trahere (drag). In the same way is called the group of people which fishes with this type of net.
Trajta, the fishing boat, is mentioned for the first time as trakta in 1734 on Mljetu and in 1742 in Ston.
Trajta today, unfortunately, is no longer used.

Dalmatian boats

The world of model boat kits has never seen a program like this until now. It is a set of the most famous Dalmatian boats used throughout the past. These boats, in an almost unchanged form, are still used today, but have been equipped with engines and upgraded cabins.

Among them, we chose two models:
Pasara 44,3cm, 17.44'', 1:14
and Gaeta 48,0CM, 18.90'', 1:14 .
They are a combination of frame construction and plank on bulkhead building.

The third is very important Falkusa 70,4cm, 27.72'', 1:20 is made on a mold for finishing hull fitted with frames and other elements.

All three models provide an extraordinary experience for all modelers who know how to cover a hull with a single layer of planks. When finished, they look exactly the same as the originals.

Trajta - fishing and cargo boat from Korčula 63,8cm, 25.12'', 1:20 is a model that perfectly connects the ship models from the beginner course level 2 and 3 and ship models whose construction is more demanding. It is ideal for embarking on, more advanced model building, while Batelina – a boat of the Croatian coast 34cm, 13.39'', 1:10 belongs to the program for beginners, Beginner set: Level 1 .



Step above

As a link between easy to build models and more advanced projects, we offer a series of easy to build kits from MarisStella Model Ship Kits and The Old Seller lines. If you have already mastered the basics of model ship building, these kits will guide you into and through more demanding projects, that are not too complex for a careful model builder.

The "Step above" program is the next step for ship modelers who have mastered our beginner's courses at the first, second and third levels, and are prepared to start work on a larger project. The instructions in these projects are like all MarisStella kits, highly detailed, but they still allow independent thinking and planning. All you need is the ability to read blueprints.

The assembly kits that we have included in this program, which connect other programs from our assortment, are:

from the program "Masters of the Adriatic", Štilac 61 cm, 24.02'', 1:32

Advanced Work

In English we define the qualifications of the ship modeler to enable them to decide on the level of models they want to build in this program. They are: Intermediate level . This means a model maker should have built at least three or more models to a reasonably high standard. This level will enable the modelbuilder to choose models from the MarisStella list without any problems. These are all unique works that were presented to the world for the first time through this line of kits.
