1893

As far as I know this design first appears as the 'Bateau a Voile' in 'L'Annee Preparatoire de Travail Manuel' by M P Martin, which was published by Armand Collin & Cie in Paris in 1893. It is made from a blintzed windmill base.

1904

The same design appears as 'Barco de Vela' in 'Guia Practica del Trabajo Manual Educativo' by Ezequiel Solana, which was published by Editorial Magisterio Espaņol in Madrid in 1904.

1907

A design called 'barca con vela' and 'lancha con vela' is mentioned, but not illustrated, in an article titled 'El trabajo manual escolar' by Vicente Casto Legua in the January 1907 issue of the Spanish magazine 'La Escuela Moderna' which was published in Madrid by Los Sucesores de Hernando. This design is probably the Double Boat with Sail.
