The name ?La Nina? means the girl in Spanish, but this was a nickname for the boat, her real name being Santa Clara. All Spanish ships of the time were named after a female saint. The nickname ?La Nina? was supposedly a joke amongst sea mates, which intended to mock to her owner, Juan Nino.<\/p>\n<p> The ship had two sisters, Pinta and Santa Maria, all 3 of which accompanied Columbus on his journey. It is reportedly said that La Nina, out of the 3, was the favourite of Columbus. La Nina was a typical caravel of the day, a Portuguese sailing ship that was highly maneuverable due to its size and with the addition of a lateen sail, was extremely fast, making it perfect for exploration.<\/p>\n<p> La Nina boat kit is manufactured by <a href=\"\/14-mantua-kits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mantua Model Group<\/a>, who have been producing model ship kits since after the war.
