Model is
hand-crafted from wood with planks on frame construction and painted.
The deck is joined with tiny strips of wood as the technique to
build the real sailboat. There is no
plastic or molding. The model comes with the display base and a
brass name plate.
The mast is pre-assembled during the rigging process, then removed
and fold flat down to minimize the shipping cost.
The America was a 19th century racing yacht
which gave its name to the international sailing trophy it first won
-- the America's Cup. The schooner was designed by George Steers for
Commodore John Cox Stevens and a syndicate from the New York Yacht
Club. On August 22, 1851, the America won by over 20 minutes the
Royal Yacht Squadron's 53 mile regatta around the Isle of Wight,
capturing the "One Hundred Sovereign Cup." Watching the race, Queen
Victoria asked who was second, and received the famous reply: "There
is no second, your Majesty."
