The Shamrock V is the J Class classic sailing yacht that is entirely built from wood in 1930’s. Own a piece of yachting history and have it displayed beautifully as a home or office decor. Master craftsmen handcraft these highly detailed wood models from scratch using historical photographs, drawings and original plan. They are built to scale with high-grade wood such as: western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany. They are 100% hand built individually using plank-on-frame construction method and are similar to the building of actual ships. Each model requires hundreds of hours to finish and must go through a demanding quality control process before leaving the workshop. This model shows beautifully the framework with complete decking details of the shamrock V. The deck center are nicely furnished with wooden cabin, hatches and companionway. There is also a realistic miniature lifeboat between the cabins. The metal steering wheel can be seen aft right above the rudder. There are also winches around the deck to wind up or let out riggings when needed. The meticulously stitched sails and intricate rigging complete the definition of a true sailing boat. The model is secured tightly on a solid wood base with a brass nameplate. The mast and sails are folded down for easy shipping. It’ll make a perfect gift for home or office decorator, boat enthusiast, or passionate collector.
