The wooden model yacht sits perfectly on the included base, which is made of a high-quality, conditioned wood.
The wood yacht model is built from scratch by experienced master artisans and is not from any sort of kit. To create the subtle details and definitions of the deck and hull, the plank on frame method of construction is used, which requires hundreds of hours of pain-staking, detailed work.
The highest quality, rare woods (including Ebony, Rosewood, Blackwood, Mahogany, Jack wood, and Sycamore) used to construct our models are subjected to specific seasoning procedures to ensure that the model will withstand severe climate and never warp or split.
The quality Honduras mahogany and fine cherry wood are of the highest caliber and generally used for real boats are used on our wooden yacht models.
Our model yachts are highly polished to a glossy smoothness along with meticulous details that match the perfection of the real thing. Numerous layers of paint and varnish are painstakingly applied, with each layer dried and smoothed through sanding before application of the next.
Extensive research is required to build each boat model according to scale, using various pictures, original plans, drawings, and digital imaging.
Each wooden model ship is examined during various processes of manufacturing and shipment to ensure the highest quality and accuracy possible for your investment.

| History |
|
The Atlantic is a three-masted topsail schooner that competed in the 1905 Emperor's Cup, a race put up by Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm. The Atlantic won the cup with a time of twelve days and four hours. With a record of 348 nautical-miles in a 24 hour period, her speed intrigued the military. She was eventually taken up by the US Navy in both world wars and was then acquired by the US Coast Guard.
