GORGEOUS 3-D Handmade BOAT KITE from Bali NEW

Boat size : 33" long

Multicolored Nylons - Colors may vary

And it really does fly ? beautifully! This stunning Indonesian flying kite stems from a distinguished tradition of kite making that goes back hundreds of years. The ingenious design is derived from generations of experience and is based on tension so that the whole kite fits together without the need for glue. Originally used as offerings to the spirits, flying kites continue to be part of religious ceremonies in Indonesia, and ?Layang-Layang? (or kite flying) is a popular pastime for children. Handmade in the hills of Bali from bamboo and offcuts of nylon, this colorful boat kite will enthral as it sails elegantly through the air. This is a proper kite and not classified as a toy, so adult supervision is required. 

A Great Addition to Anyone's Collection.

Boat Kite Assembly Instructions

1. Swivel spreaders and place ends into grommets on either side of the hull of the boat.

2. Place masts into aluminum tubes and hook sails onto the front and rear. (Unwind bridle string from bowsprit first.)

3. Unroll connected sails. Hook loops onto the top of the masts and set sails into catches tied onto the masts. (Longer attachment strings are in the front.) Stretch plastic rings over the ends of the spreaders.

4. Placement of flying loop in bridle string can be determined by holding the kite into the wind by the bridle. If the loop is too low, the kite will not rise up. If the loop is tied too high the kite will be erratic.

5. Flies in light to medium winds. (5-15 MPH)
