The model that we present to you in a scale of 1:24 represents a traditional boat that has its origin from Aivali and Moschonisia in Asia Minor and after 1922 they were manufactured in Mytilini. The peramatakia, have taken their name as a diminutive from the well-known wooden traditional Greek perama. "Sultana" was built in 2002 by Grigoris Grigoriou in the shipyard of Panagiotis Psaradellis in Skala Kalloni on the island of Lesvos (Mytilini). Her sails at the time of her construction were of the Latin type. Later, around 2012, during the maintenance of the vessel, repairs were carried out at the shipyard of N. Vlavianos and some interventions related to the construction of a new mast, changing the position of the mast, new sails, installation of a bowsprit, various interventions on the deck and construction of a new boat house.
Unfortunately "Sultana" was lost in a storm in September 2014.
I had photos of Sultana in my file since 2000. This year I decided to represent her as a model and in the communication I had with her owner, Mr. Costas Maroulis, I understood that he was still pained by her loss. I mentioned to him that I would stop if it upset him. But he told me to continue.
All I have to do is build him a model and offer it to him as a gift, feeling the love he had for his Sultana.
