This elegant steam yacht was constructed by Thornycrofts at Wollston for a private customer around 1909. The name NAPSUGAR is Hungarian for “sunray” and is also a girl’s name Napsugar being one of the Vestal Virgins.

She was powered by a twin cylinder double acting engine giving a max sped of 12 knots, quite fast for the time, and a cruising speed of 9.5 knots on a length of 73ft with a shallow draught of 3ft aft.

 

This model is based on a glass-fibre hull with full plating and port detail. The main and boat decks are from 1/16th marine plywood with pre-printed deck planking. The funnel, ships boat and ventilator cowls, are supplied as vac forming in 1mm styrene, and to complete the model a full set of detailed fittings in cast metal and plastic are included in the kit. To add the superfine detail to this elegant model, a full sheet of brass etched parts are also included. A comprehensive instruction book and two full size plans aid in constructing this model. As in all the Deans kits; prop shafts, props and rudder are included.

And new item in the kit range is the use of computer cut “wood” panelling for fine details such as doors and to give the correct “timber” effect and relief detail to door panels and panelling, and to remove the arduous task of cutting, sanding and staining very un-scale woodwork.
