Bermuda Sloop Model (Click photos to enlarge)
Some boats are for looks. Others actually sail. In the 1920s pond racing was a high tech business and the racers dressed up their (up to 8 feet, 2.4m long) toy boats with assorted hardware and gear. Bermuda Sloops could be recognized by a long bowsprit on a relatively short-hulled boat. As pond racers they were popular in the roaring thirties. A weighted keel, a relatively waterproof hull and hardware to trim sails and masts are all there. A rudder quadrant controls steering to some extent. Note: This is a replica and is for display purposes only. It is not intended for use in water.
Height is measured from bottom of base to highest point when displayed. Please see our FAQ for details.
For ease of shipment, model is sent with mast(s) down. Rigging is already in place, only requires adjustment of tension. No tools or special skills needed. Illustrated instructions included.
