The Hanseatic cog is a Hanseatic sailing ship from the 14th century. These cogs were primarily used for trade, and in times of military conflict between the Hanseatic cities, particularly against pirates, they were equipped with forts and sometimes cannons for protection. The cog usually has a mast and a square sail. Just below or at the top of the mast, they had a so-called crow's nest as a lookout. Depending on their configuration, they had an aft castle, and from the 14th century onward, often a bow castle for enhanced defense.

The Krick kit, designed by Daniel Dusek, contains two castles, a horizontal capstan and a main capstan, as well as a dinghy and cargo that is lashed to the deck.

The planks for the clinker planking are already laser-cut, and the frames include the gradations for the clinker planking to ensure smooth planking. All accessories are laser-cut or included in the kit as etched brass parts. It also includes the planking strips for the deck, pre-printed flags for various Hanseatic cities, the fabric for the sail, and sufficient rigging thread for the entire rigging. A detailed construction plan and precise instructions with sketches assist with assembly, which should therefore pose no problem even for inexperienced model builders.
