Columbia Painted Large Sailboat Schooner Yacht Model

Columbia, the victorious defender of the 1958 America's Cup for the New York Yacht Club, is faithfully represented in this handcrafted model. Built using a plank-on-frame technique from premium materials including western red cedar, rosewood, mahogany, and teak, it showcases the skill of master craftsmen. Designed according to the original plans, photos, and drawings, the model perfectly captures the elegance of the original vessel in scale. Notable features include a single mast with hand-stitched linen sails, detailed rigging, wooden hatches, metal stanchions and railings, and a varnished hull highlighting the natural grain, complemented by a painted waterline. The model is securely mounted on a wooden base with a brass nameplate reading "Columbia 1958." Light assembly is required, as the mast and sails are folded for shipping.Please Note: Your model is shipped with the mast and sails neatly folded for secure and efficient delivery. All rigging is pre-installed-simply raise the mast and adjust the sails for proper alignment, and your assembly will be complete in minutes.
