Universal Fit Yufers (2.5 mm) laser-cut wood detailing kit (Master Korabel DY03025)
What Is It?
The Universal fit Yufers Wooden Set by Master Korabel features 20 finely laser-cut wooden yufers, each with a compact diameter of 2.5 mm. These miniature fittings are essential components in traditional sailing rigging, functioning as discrete guideposts for ropes and lines. Yufers are short vertical pegs used for directing running rigging—such as halyards, braces, and sheets—around deck edges, mast bases, or bulkhead railings. Their subtle design and small footprint make them ideal for areas where standard belaying pins or cleats cannot be used, especially on smaller vessels or tight deck configurations. This 2.5 mm scale is particularly suited for highly detailed small-scale wooden model ships or diorama scenes that demand utmost historical accuracy. Each piece is laser-cut from natural wood to deliver authentic grain and a finish-ready surface. This set enables modelers to enhance structural realism by replicating genuine 17th–19th century rope management systems—an often-overlooked but vital detail in naval modeling. Use these fittings to bring a higher level of fidelity and functionality to your rigging layout, especially in fine-scale builds or professional display-grade projects.

Historical Background
Yufers, sometimes referred to as rope guides or line pegs, were historically used on naval and merchant sailing vessels from the 1500s through the mid-1800s. Unlike more robust features such as cleats or deadeyes, yufers offered a minimalist and space-efficient solution to managing a ship’s complex running rigging. These small wooden posts were affixed to various parts of the vessel—especially on bulwarks, near pinrails, along the base of masts, or around working deck zones—where crew members would lead, secure, or organize ropes in a way that kept decks clear and lines accessible. As ships grew more sophisticated and faster, particularly in the age of exploration and during naval conflicts, it became increasingly important to manage dozens of lines efficiently. Yufers provided a flexible and modular method of line control without requiring extensive structural alterations. They were especially common on vessels with limited space or simplified rigging systems, such as cutters, ketches, and sloops. Master Korabel’s set reflects this tradition, providing modern modelers with a historically grounded, ultra-fine-scale solution to replicate the appearance and function of real 17th–19th century sailing rigging with meticulous accuracy. By using these fittings, modelers don’t just add decoration—they reintroduce functional design features that were once vital to sea-going life.
