About the Item

This striking midcentury handcrafted pond yacht offers a beautiful fusion of nautical design and sculptural presence. Expertly constructed from rich, varnished hardwood with a deep blue painted hull and bold red sails, this large model sailboat makes an eye-catching display piece for any interior or collection. Features include a sleek sloop rig with a detailed deck outfitted with miniature cleats, winches, and fittings. The sails are made of durable fabric in a vivid red-orange hue, attached to wooden booms and supported by wire rigging. The hull is meticulously finished with alternating high-gloss and matte surfaces, giving a sense of realism and craftsmanship. The transom is accented with painted details and marked “SAG-BAY R/C B.C.” with a yellow flower motif, hinting at its history as a competitive or club-built model. Presented on a custom wooden cradle with canvas straps, the piece stands securely and is ready for display.
