Columbia America's Cup J Class Yacht Model SailboatThis Columbia 1899 sailboat model was specially designed & built by the plank on frame method (joining multiple small pieces of wood together on the hull). The hull topsides have been painted black and the bottom and decks are varnished with marine quality varnish. Fittings are handmade of bronze. The cloth sails are hand stiched, very detailed and even include 2 sets of reef points. The J Class boat model comes complete with a stand.
The Columbia was the defender of the tenth America's Cup race in 1899 against British challenger Shamrock as well as the defender of the eleventh America's Cup race in 1901 against British challenger, Shamrock II. It was the first vessel to win the trophy twice in a row.
Columbia had a nickel steel frame, a tobin bronze hull, and a steel mast which broke during her 1st trials due to electrolysis. It was replaced by another in Oregon pine for the rest of the trials.
Columbia had no difficulty in beating Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock, designed by Fife Jr III. Before his promise to come back to the following America's Cup, Sir Thomas Lipton paid tribute to his rival: "Mister Herreshoff has shown that he is the greatest yacht designer in the world".
It is sure to be a commanding presense amongst your nautical decor and to become a treasured family heirloom.
