Universal Fit Yufers (3.5 mm) laser-cut wood detailing kit (Master Korabel DY03035)
What Is It?
The Universal fit Yufers Wooden Set by Master Korabel contains 20 expertly laser-cut wooden yufers, each measuring 3.5 mm in diameter. These miniature fittings serve as rigging line guides, often replacing or supporting belaying pins, cleats, and deadeyes on smaller ships or compact rigging areas. Yufers are short cylindrical posts typically installed along bulwarks, railings, or near the base of masts, where they offer a reliable way to route or temporarily secure rigging lines, sheets, halyards, or braces. This smaller 3.5 mm scale is especially suited for finer detail models, making it an ideal choice for smaller scale wooden ships or dioramas requiring maximum rigging precision. Each piece in this set is crafted from natural wood to retain a historically accurate appearance and is ready for sanding, staining, or immediate placement. These yufers are designed to help modelers bring subtle yet functionally critical deck features to life. Whether you are enhancing a scratch build, customizing a kit, or replicating historically correct rigging systems, these components are key to achieving authenticity and structural accuracy.

Historical Background
Yufers were an integral part of rigging management aboard traditional wooden sailing ships from the 16th through the 19th centuries. Unlike deadeyes or full pinrails, yufers were smaller, simpler, and easier to install, often consisting of short pegs or guides affixed directly to bulwarks or mast platforms. Their purpose was straightforward yet crucial: to guide, direct, and isolate individual ropes so they could be efficiently handled by sailors without entanglement or confusion. As ships became more complex and relied on increasingly intricate rigging systems, tools like yufers became indispensable, particularly on ships with limited deck space or simplified control systems. They were most common on working vessels, sloops, and even frigates that needed quick rope access without extensive belaying structures. Sailors used yufers to lead lines to different parts of the deck or mast, allowing them to make quick adjustments during maneuvers or in response to weather changes. Master Korabel’s yufer set faithfully replicates these features in miniature, providing modelers with an opportunity to enhance their builds with genuine historic rigging methods. The presence of yufers adds an extra level of structural integrity and visual realism, giving insight into the mechanical elegance and practical simplicity of early naval engineering.
How to Use
- Separate each yufer piece from its laser-cut frame
- Lightly sand or smooth edges if needed
- Test placement in desired deck or rail areas
- Secure with a small drop of wood glue or CA glue
- Optional: stain or varnish to match deck tone
- Use as part of functional rigging guides or purely for aesthetic detailing
