The model includes 2 mainsail skins, a jib, a rotating mast, rigging, main and jib sheets, plus foil arms and foil wings.

Construction Features

The assembly experience focuses on mechanical detail and realistic sailing architecture, making it an appealing hobby kit for builders who enjoy functional elements as well as visual accuracy. The Technic approach gives the model a more engineered feel, with moving and working features that help bring the yacht to life during construction.

The LEGO Builder app adds a modern building experience with 3D instructions, progress tracking, and zoom and rotate tools for checking details as you build. That makes it easier to follow the model step by step while keeping the process engaging from start to finish.
