Sailing ships & tall ship model kits.

A sailing ship is a seagoing craft that is propelled by the wind via the use of sails that are fixed on masts. In Ancient Egypt and the Mediterranean, river and coastal waterways were navigated by early sailing ships.

During the Age of Discovery (15th to 17th century), European sailing ships with primarily square rigs became common as they travelled across oceans between countries and throughout the globe. Although merchant ships made up the majority of sailing vessels, the Age of Sail also witnessed the growth of sizable fleets of heavily armed warships.

Most wooden ship model kits that are stocked by Modelers Central are from the golden age of sailing ships & tall ships. Brands such as Amati, Corel, Vanguard Models & Occre use quality materials and accessories to provide the best experience and the best calibre of details and structure for all sailing & tall ship model kits.

Some of the most popular wooden model ship kits from our Sailing Ship & Tall Ship range are the Clipper Cutter Sark, Endeavour & HMS Victory.

Tip: if you are looking for paint, try your local paint/hardware store. These boats are going to be dry-sailed (in and out of the water) not hanging on a mooring or tied-up to a dock... so no specialty paints will be needed.   If you are looking for a unique color, or wanting to match your own boat or a color scheme you've seen, they have a myriad of chip colors which you can take to the counter and have them custom mix on of those  small "samplers" jars that are very inexpensive. Plus, they will have a wide variety of paint colors in small spray cans, and small paint cans.

Tippecanoe Boats

Tippecanoe boats.

We produce the highest quality model sailboats, toy sailboats, and radio controlled model sailing boats in the world.

After 36 years of business, there are now over 70,000 Tippecanoe model sailboats sailing in more than 65 countries around the world!

Our Mission:

Our mission is to continue the wonderful tradition of model sailboats, especially wooden model sailboats, that really sail. Our boats have provided thousands of hours of happy outdoors experiences for countless adults and youngsters. We hear back from owners almost every day about how much they enjoy their boats and how pleased they are that we are doing what we do. In their small way, model sailing boats make the world a better place for all of us.

Our Origin:

Will Lesh is the founder, designer, and owner of Tippecanoe Boats. Will grew up with a classic Jacrim Seaworthy model sailing yacht which he sailed for many summers on Lake Tippecanoe along with his sister who also had a beautiful Keystone pond yacht.

“It has been in memory of those many happy hours that I have brought these beautiful toy sailboats back to life, and of course we have added a terrific collection of sensational RC model sailboats as well which make splendid projects for craftsmen as well as for first time builders and sailors.” – Will Lesh, Founder and Designer

“I have a 100 ton license. I built my own 24 foot sailboat and sailed it across the Atlantic. I own a 34 foot cruising sloop, a laser, two MC Scows, a Hobie 14, a windsurfer, a 420, my 24 foot trans-Atlantic sloop, a 12 foot laminated mahogany sailing dinghy, 5 kayaks and 2 canoes (also two 37 foot steel sailboats in process). I am passionate about sailing boats and human powered boats of all sizes. But I still love sailing the model boats, they are so fun and beautiful and bring the joy of sailing alive in a very special way. In fact, I think I sail and race our model boats more frequently than I use my full sized boats! You can count on every one of our Tippecanoe boats, free-sailing toy boats and sophisticated radio control boats, to sail exceptionally well. I guarantee it!” – Will Lesh, Founder and Designer

Will Lesh lives and breathes sailing. He always has, and he always will.

Will started, and continues to run, Tippecanoe Boats in order to spread his love for sailing to all:

“I sail, therefore I am!”

Ships have played a crucial role in shaping the course of human history. From battleships to warships , these formidable vessels have navigated through treacherous seas, engaged in fierce battles, and transported goods and people across the globe. Throughout history, there have been numerous historic ships that have left their mark on the world and continue to fascinate us to this day.

One of the most famous historic ships is the HMS Victory , a British warship that played a pivotal role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Under the command of Admiral Horatio Nelson, the HMS Victory helped secure a decisive victory for the British Navy against the combined forces of France and Spain. The ship, with its distinctive three masts and over 100 cannons, has been preserved and is now a popular tourist attraction in Portsmouth, UK.

The USS Constitution , also known as ‘Old Ironsides,’ is another iconic historic ship. This wooden frigate was commissioned by the United States in 1797 and played a significant role in the War of 1812. Its impressive firepower and sturdy construction earned it the nickname ‘Old Ironsides’ after withstanding cannon fire from the British Navy. Today, the USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world and is docked in Boston Harbor as a museum ship.

The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 remains one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history. The luxury liner was deemed unsinkable and was equipped with the latest technology and amenities. However, it tragically collided with an iceberg on its maiden voyage and sank, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives. The sinking of the Titanic highlighted the need for stricter safety regulations and sparked advancements in ship design and safety measures.

The Mary Rose , a Tudor era warship, is a significant archaeological find that sheds light on the advanced shipbuilding techniques of the 16th century. The ship was the pride of the English Navy and played a crucial role in the battle against the French Navy in 1545. However, it sunk during the battle and was rediscovered in the 1970s off the coast of Portsmouth, UK. The preservation and excavation of the Mary Rose have provided valuable insights into Tudor maritime history.

From ancient wooden boats to modern steel behemoths, historic ships serve as a testament to the advancements in shipbuilding technology and the courage of sailors who sailed them into battles and uncharted waters. These ships not only represent significant moments in history, but they also hold a special place in our collective memory and continue to amaze us with their stories and legacies.
