Enterprise 1930 America's Cup Yacht J Class Boat Model 25"
This high quality, highly detailed, America's Cup Collection, Enterprise 1930 America's Cup Yacht J Class Boat model is brand new, fully assembled and ready for display (not a kit). The Enterprise was designed by Starling Burgess & Nat Herreshoff. Together, they created the largest and fastest racing machine ever seen. This
great and gorgeous J-boat was eighty feet long at the water line and
sported a heavy keel with two centerboards. Her great 162-foot mast
tapered from one and one-half feet at the base to nine inches at the
top. It was made of two hollow tubes of aluminum and was supported by a
large array of stays and rigging. Below deck she had two dozen winches
for handling lines. Enterprise
made short work of the other three would-be defenders of the Cup and
was chosen to take on Shamrock V off Newport, Rhode Island. There, in
September 1930, she went on to win a clean sweep of four races,
maintaining the 80 year record of uninterrupted possession of Americas
Cup. Shipped with the masts and sails folded down, assembles in minutes (a moderate skill level is required). All the sails are made of cloth and are adjustable with working lines.
The Enterprise Yacht model is scratched built plank on bulkhead by skillful and creative master craftsmen. Strip by strip of mahogany and teak were put together. It was built according to scale through original plans, pictures and drawings.
Only high quality wood and metal were used to build the model, absolutely no plastic parts. This beautiful model is resting on a painted solid wooden stand. To enhanced value and recognition, a metal name plate embedded with “Enterprise 1930” is provided.
This model measures 25" long from front to rear. It's a fabulous J Class Yacht model that will be a conversation piece for any room or office.
