Features

The Endeavour model yacht measures 20"L x 25"H. The model wood yacht is shipped fully assembled, ready to be displayed. Imagine this exquisite piece of art glimmering in your home or office! Great Gift Item! 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. Details such as fittings, trimmings, steering wheels, and propellers are made sculpted brass or stainless steel. These metal pieces are then polished for perfect gold and metallic tones. 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

Hailed as the most beautiful J-Class yacht ever created, the Endeavour was the most impressive British sailboat to ever race in the America's Cup series. Built for speed as well as beauty, the Endeavour was created in 1933 by T.O.M. Sopwith, the undisputed leader of the British aircraft industry. When Endeavour returned to England she continued to dominate the British racing scene until 1938 when she was laid up for the duration of World War II. Saved by Elizabeth Meyer of New Port, RI, today she is one of the most breathtaking sights on the water. To take helm of such a yacht is to experience pure power, grace, and speed.
