This America's Cup Yacht Model was specially designed & built by the plank on bulkhead method (joining multiple small pieces of wood like Rosewood, Mahogany, Teak and other exotic tropical wood together on the hull). The sailboat model is built exactly to scale as the original Columbia was with many details. The task required skillful craftsmen hundreds of hours to accomplish. Size: 24" overall length x 31" height x 5 width.
The Columbia was built in the Nevins Yacht under the supervision of Olin Stephens. Olin Stephens brought all his vast and sound experience in the design of the 1958 America's Cup Defender. This 12 meter yacht had a wooden hull and could sail at very high speed. The skipper Briggs Cunningham inevitably took Columbia to the victory, winning over all contenders. The model measures 24 long from bow to stern.It's a fabulous boat model that will be a conversation piece for any room or office. More Sizes of Columbia & Other Model America's Cup Yachts Are Available.
