I noticed a whimsical paper model that would be just perfect as a gift for any family member who loves sailing. It is one of Walter Ruffler's paper machines published in Bremen, Germany. A wide range of Ruffler's models work on the same principal; a crank turns a cam that activates a push rod of some sort. In this case, the skipper of a sailboat is tossed about as he leans out to counterbalance his boat in a strong wind. Model: "Sailing into the Wind" Designer: Walter Ruffler Size: 13 x 22 x 38.5 cm high Number of Sheets: 5 Supplied with Kit: 3 round wooden toothpicks Instructions: German
