Ship Fitting by Master Korabel. SKU: DY03050. Universal Fit Yufers (5 mm) Laser-cut wood detailing kit (Master Korabel WL00420) What Is It? The Universal fit Yufers Wooden Set by Master Korabel offers a historically accurate collection of 20 finely laser-cut wooden yufers, each measuring 5 mm in diameter. Yufers, also known as rope guides or pinless belaying cleats, were essential for managing lines, ropes, and rigging aboard sailing vessels from the early Age of Sail through the 19th century. This accessory set is designed to be scale-flexible and easily integrated into virtually any wooden ship model kit. Each piece is cut from high-quality wood for authenticity and ease of finishing. Yufers were typically placed along the bulwarks or at the base of masts and served to route or secure running rigging without the need for complex fittings. These tiny, often-overlooked deck details add remarkable realism to your project. With this kit, modelers can replicate one of the most functionally critical but subtly implemented pieces of rigging architecture found aboard traditional sailing ships. Who Is It Intended For?

These short cylindrical posts or cleat-like devices helped organize and guide the complex web of lines, sheets, and halyards that made up a vessel’s running rigging. Long before the advent of modern cleats or metal line guides, yufers were used to keep ropes accessible, separated, and tensioned. Often fixed into the inner bulwarks, pinrails, or base decks, they allowed sailors to control rigging with greater ease and order. The use of yufers dates back to at least the 16th century and persisted into the early 1800s, particularly on ships without extensive belaying pin configurations. Master Korabel’s model set replicates these subtle yet vital pieces, allowing modelers to portray how line handling and deck organization truly worked during the Age of Sail. Their presence adds both functional authenticity and intricate deck realism that reflects the ingenuity of historical seamanship.
