Nova large model sailing mechanical racer, in yellow painted wood with green mesh, mechanical engine, at the back of the boat there is an aluminum label with the M.F.P. (Michel Fradet).
The 1930s were the best years for toys in general and for those represented by Michel Fradet (Nova-M.F.P brand) in particular. It must also be said that during this decade, Nova was the only brand to offer sailboats.
As a result, Nova very quickly became, in France, the first brand to produce sailboats in series. These "Nova" sailboat hulls are thin and elegant.
The surface area of the canopy and a large ballast make them fast during navigation. It was only after World War II that new brands came to compete with Nova-M.F.P.
