Columbia America's Cup Yacht Wooden Model Sailboat 24"
This high quality, highly detailed, intermediate level, Columbia yacht model is Brand New, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit). This item requires some semi-assembly you will need to raise up the mast.
This America's Cup Yacht Model was specially designed & built by the plank on frame method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and other exotic tropical wood together on the hull). The sailboat model is built exactly to scale as the original Columbia was with many details. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.
The Columbia was built in the Nevins Yacht under the supervision of Olin Stephens. Olin Stephens brought all his vast and sound experience in the design of the 1958 America’s Cup Defender. This 12 meter yacht had a wooden hull and could sail at very high speed. The skipper Briggs Cunningham inevitably took Columbia to the victory, winning over all contenders. She was a contender and trial horse up to 1976. The Columbia still sails today doing charters in Newport, RI.
The model measures 24" long from bow to stern. It's a fabulous boat model that will be a conversation piece for any room or office.
