Two Masted Wooden Sailboat (Galeas)

32 comments
This is a two masted Lego boat that is inspired by the galeas.

A galeas is a type of freight ship used in the Baltic sea in the 1800 and early 1900 and to further clear up anything it is not a Galleon that is a completely different kind of ship.

This Lego galeas is inspired by the galeas called Albanus that is from the Aland Island located in Finland Albanus was a galeas that carried wood built in 1904, a replica of the Albanus was built in 1988 and still sails to this day but will soon be replaced.

I believe that this would be a good model for Lego Ideas because there isn't really a good sized sail ship in Lego and i believe that people would be happy to add a sailship to their collection, and i believe that this would bring new people to the Lego brand.

And lastly why i built it: I like boats. I live on the Aland Islands and i have sailed on the Albanus and I like it, it is a beautiful ship.

And again it is not a Galleon it is a Galeas and it has nothing to do with pirates.
