History of the Xebec:
The Xebec is a traditional sailing vessel that was commonly used in the Mediterranean region during the 18th and 19th centuries. It was known for its speed and maneuverability, which made it an ideal vessel for chasing and capturing pirate ships, as well as for transporting goods and passengers across the Mediterranean Sea.

The Xebec typically had three masts, with a large triangular mainsail and two smaller jibs. The boat was also equipped with a distinctive “lateen” sail, which was a triangular sail mounted on a long, diagonal spar that extended from the top of the mast to the rear of the boat. This unique sail design allowed the Xebec to sail close to the wind and achieve high speeds, even in rough seas.

The Xebec was also known for its sleek and agile design, with a narrow hull and sharp, pointed bow. This design allowed the boat to navigate through narrow channels and shallow waters, which made it an ideal vessel for navigating the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean.

Today, the Xebec is primarily used for recreation and as a symbol of Mediterranean culture and history. The OMH Xebec Model Boat is a beautiful and accurate representation of this iconic sailing vessel, and is sure to be a cherished addition to any collection of nautical memorabilia.

Our readymade models are built by specialist artisan partners using a combination of traditional woodworking techniques and modern manufacturing methods, including CNC machining, laser cutting, and 3D printing. This blend of craftsmanship and technology allows for high levels of detail and consistency across our range. Every piece is inspected for quality before dispatch.

Our readymade models are constructed from a combination of materials depending on the model and manufacturer. The hull and main structural components are typically built from wood – commonly lime, walnut, or mahogany – while masts, spars, and finer structural elements use a mix of wood and metal. Rigging is made from thread or cord, and smaller fittings such as cannons, anchors, and deck hardware are usually cast in metal or formed from resin. Some components may also incorporate laser-cut or 3D-printed parts where precision detailing is required. Display bases and name plaques are generally finished in wood with brass or metal hardware.
