America Wooden Yacht Model
The 19th century racing yacht, America, was given its name after the first
international sailing trophy that it won; the America's Cup. This model schooner
was designed by George Steers for Commodore John Cox Stevens and a syndicate
from the Yacht Club of New York. On Aug 22, 1851, the America won by over 20
minutes in the Royal Yacht Squadron's 53 mile regatta around the Isle of Wight,
capturing the "One Hundred Sovereign Cup." Spectating at the race,
Queen Victoria asked an attendant who was second, and received the famous reply:
"There is no second, your Majesty."
Our America Model Yacht is built completely from scratch and model is completely
hand built by skillful craftsmen. The shine on the hull is truly inspiring and
beautiful. Pure wooden ornaments such as: wooden stands, wooden bunkers, large
masts with fabric sails and detailed stitching, all riggings have matching colors,
metal stick in the navigation area, wooden propeller, long stripe around the
hull of the yacht, and many, many more. We absolutely use no plastic parts in
the construction of our museum quality model ships, only high quality wood and
metal. Each of our models are built according to scale through original plans,
pictures and drawings. This beautiful model is rested on a painted wooden stand.
To enhanced value and recognition, a metal plate embedded with “America 1851”
is neatly attached to the stand. The masts are fold flat down for easy shipping
purposes. Semi-assembly are required.
