How to make a sailboat

When you put your boat to sail look at the flag to see which side the wind blows. If the wind blows from the left side, leave the candles in half and take the rudder to the left. If the wind blows from the right side, release the candles only halfway. Put the rudder to the right. If the wind blows in front, the wagon will overturn when you push it. Go around the pond until the wind blows on its side. Look at the following article, how to make a sailing boat.

You will need to:
  • A sheet of square polyurethane 30 cm side
  • A thin stick 40 cm long
  • A pencil and scissors
  • A strong plastic bag
  • 2 tubes of empty toothpaste 15 paper pins
  • Thick thread or thin rope
  • A long thick-headed pin
  • A hairpin
  • A band of elastic rubber and tin or aluminum foil
  • Needle and thread and small nails
Steps to follow:

one

First draw the outline of a wafer about 25 cm long on the polyurethane sheet. Cut it out with scissors. Wrap the waffle with tinfoil, tightening the edges and corners.

two

From the plastic bag he cuts two candles. The largest will be 40 cm high and the shortest 30 cm. Then cut out a long, thin flag as you see in the drawing.

3

Then fold a curved side and the straight side of the big candle. Sew the folds. Cut the corner of the folded sides. Put the stick and pencil through the openings as you like in the drawing.

4

Then cut a piece of string of one 60 cm in length. Lay the stretched along a curved side of the small candle . Make a hem and sew it all the way.

5

Cut a piece of polyurethane 6 cm long by 3 cm wide. Make a hole in the center. Insert a pin on each side. Place the piece about 6 cm away from the front of the sailboat.

6

Then put the stick in the hole as in the drawing. Put a pin on top and tie two pieces of string. Nail a dowel on each side of the club and tie the free ends of the ropes.

7

Draw one end of the rope from the small candle to the pin. Nail a pin in the front of the boat and tie the other end of the rope. Fold one side of the flag over the pin and take it.

8

Make small holes in the corners of the candles and tie a thin rope to each candle. Enter two pins on each side of the boat and two others on the back.

9

Then cut a piece of polyurethane about 5 cm long by 3 cm wide. Put the rubber band around. Put 4 pins through the polyurethane and the boat through the back.

10

Then cut with the scissors the two ends of a tube of toothpaste . Fold the fork in the shape you see in the drawing. Wind one end of the tube over the fork to make the rudder.

eleven

Put the back of the wafer and insert the end of the fork underneath . Pass the elastic band over the end of the fork.

12

Then cut the top part of another tube of toothpaste . Make a slot on each side. Put some nails in and press the tube until it is flat. This will serve as a keel and prevent the boat from overturning.

13

To finish make a cut in the center of the wafer between the back and the mast. Put the tube in by inserting it underneath. Fold back the two flaps on the top of the wafer.
