Where Shipbuilding Became Science
In 1764, a small Swedish yacht helped change shipbuilding forever.
Her name was Gretel, designed by the legendary naval architect Fredrik Af Chapman, widely regarded as the father of modern naval engineering. At a time when most ships were still built by tradition and intuition, Chapman introduced mathematical precision — predicting performance before the vessel ever touched water.
The result was a yacht celebrated for its symmetry, speed, and refined hull lines, a design so balanced that model builders still admire it more than 250 years later.
Originally created as a royal pleasure craft, Gretel combined elegance with intelligent engineering — and today, she offers builders the same rare satisfaction: a model that is approachable in size yet rich in authentic detail.
✔ Historically Significant Design
One of the earliest vessels engineered using scientific principles rather than guesswork.
✔ Perfect Builder’s Size
Large enough to showcase fine details, yet compact enough to complete without overwhelming your workspace.
✔ Beautiful Hull Geometry
Chapman’s clean bow and balanced stern create a model with exceptional visual flow.
✔ Ideal Skill Builder
A fantastic introduction to advanced wooden ship modeling techniques while still enjoyable for experienced builders.

Height: 14"
Vessel Type: 18th-century Royal Pleasure Yacht (Sloop)

Looks nice
Color: Silver
It looks very nice. It has a streamlined design, not big and bulky. Quality is ok. I really like the look of it.

Compact
Color: Silver
Size fits well on back of sink. However, the bottom needs some kind of non slip traction as the unit slides a lot. Had to put something under it to keep from moving around.

This was a very disappointing purchase
Color: Silver
This kitchen soap dispenser with sponge holder looks really nice in the picture, but..... it is so......flimsy. It is so lite weight that it almost falls into the sink every time I try to dispense dish washing soap. I was really looking for something rather heavy in weight (because of the metal) but elegant looking. I guess this is just one of those items that you actually need to see and feel before purchasing. I kept it because I needed some kind of soap dispenser after another soap dispenser, of which I purchased from Amazon over a year ago, it was made of plastic, and it broke. It was heavy and really looked nice on my sink. I guess I am still looking for a good one.
