Penduick Painted Racing Yacht
Built in 1898, the regatta cutter Pen Duick was one of the most beautiful sailing
boats. She was abandoned after running aground in the muddy flats of the Loire.
The legendary sailor, Eric Tabarly, who rescued and lovingly restored her with
the other sailors, were lost off the southeast coast of Wales on the stormy
night of June 14, 1998, the same year that PEN DUICK reached its hundredth birthday

All of our model ships and boats are handmade from scratch.
They are built by very skillful and experienced craftsmen.
They are also built according to the scale of the original full sized
ships. We do this through the use of original plans or pictures and use
a plank on frame construction method. The hull of our ships are joined
by multiple pieces of dry thin wood.
Inside of the hull, we use a special glue that is imported
just for this purpose. The glue makes the wood strips stay close together
so that they will not split, crack or twist which can happen due to weather
changes or humidity changes.
Our models are built completely for raw materials, NOT
kits. We recommend that you purchase a display stand for each ship that
you purchase to protect it from harm.
