Shamrock V 1930 Wooden America's Cup J Class Model 23.6"
This expert level, highly detailed, museum quality, Shamrock V 1930 model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit). This J Class model comes with dacron sails.
This exclusive Shamrock America's Cup yacht model was handcrafted using the highest quality selection of precious wood by the traditional plank on bulkhead method (after the bulkheads are laid and the hull lines trued, the hull is planked with individual wooden strips to form a smooth silhouette).
The Shamrock V 1930 J Boat model has been hand sanded, hand painted with polyurethane paint & has green topsides, gold cove stripe, white boot stripe and charcoal bottom paint. The very detailed deck fittings are reproduced with custom-made brass and chromed brass castings.
The sailboat model is mounted with brass pedestals on a high quality hardwood display base with gold trim and a Felt lined underside that will not scratch your furniture. The model is built exactly to scale as the original Shamrock J Class Yacht was. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish. This model combines the careful execution of every detail with the high quality of the materials and the craftsmanship.
The Shamrock V was launched by Sir Thomas Lipton after his fourth had lost. For his challenger, Lipton turned once more to Charles Nicholson, who produced a beautiful J Boat.
When the races started, Shamrock found herself pitted against Enterprise. In the best-of-seven series Enterprise won four, Shamrock failed to score a single victory. The Shamrock V is still sailing and racing today.

The model has been built according to the new Shamrock V after its refit in England.
The Shamrock V America's Cup model measures 23.6"(60cm) length x 35.4"(90cm) height. The Shamrock V 1930 J Boat is truly a work of art that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom.
