A Hand Built Pond Yacht 1920s
Reference Number: D9863
A fantastic handmade pond yacht, lovely plank on frame mahogany hull construction dating to the early 1920s This particular pond yacht features original calico sails, Gaff rigged with chrome fittings and a weighted keel, elegantly mounted on a brass & mahogany stand.
This yacht is an example of British pond racing yacht and would have raced against similar yachts in competitions, club against club, all over Britain, sometimes against overseas clubs as well. Just like in real sailing competitions, to make things equal in the race, waterlines had to be the same length, plus overall area of the sails needed to be the same. Today these pond yachts are extremely decorative and a great addition to any home.
