About the Item

A fantastic vintage 20th Century gaff rigged J Class pond yacht. Crafted in carved wood and a rich mahogany deck. This striking J Class model captures the spirit of British pond yacht racing in the first half of the 20th century, when such yachts would compete in spirited club regattas across Britain and occasionally against international clubs. The competitive scene mirrored real sailing, with regulations requiring equal waterline lengths and sail areas to ensure fairness and skill-based racing. This yacht would have been part of the Pond Yacht Club scene, competing in Britain against other similar yachts. Of carved wood construction, the hull is colloquially termed as bread and butter. This means that the hull construction consists of layers of wood about one or two inches this layered on top of one another and then carefully carved into the desired shape. It also uses “Braine gear self-steering“. Named after the inventor George Braine, this type of steering uses a counter pulleys and, in a single stride, its invention it advanced model yachting from being a more or less childish pastime to a sport calling for great skill and accuracy which boomed in the early part of the 20th century. Today these pond yachts are extremely decorative and a great addition to any home. CONDITION In Great Condition - Restored to an excellent standard. Please refer to photographs.
