America's Cup Young America 2000 Half Hull Wooden Model Yacht 24"
This expert level, highly detailed, museum quality, Young America 2000 model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit).
This America's Cup half hull model was crafted in mahogany and tropical hard woods 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 Young America 2000 model is then sanded, hand painted with gloss black topsides & bottom with shark graphics. The half hull is then mounted on a ready to hang wooden plaque, with an engraved brass nameplate. The half hull model is built exactly to scale as the original Young America was. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish.
Young America (USA-53), an America's Cup yacht sailed in the 2000 Louis Vuitton Cup in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Louis Vuitton Cup is one of the most famous and prestigious competitions in the sport of yachting because of its relationship to the America's Cup. The Louis Vuitton Cup was used as the selection series to select the team to sail as the challenger in the America's Cup. Since the inception of the Louis Vuitton Cup four out of the six winners have subsequently won the America's Cup itself.
Young America was designed by FARR Yacht Design and sponsored by New York Yacht Club to challenge Team New Zealand.
Young America was overcome with technical and structural problems during the challenger trials and was forced to abandon. She was eliminated before the semifinals began. Although the Team met with technical difficulties, we believe that Young America is one of the most strikingly beautiful America’s Cup Challenger in 2000.
