Vintage 20th Century English Made Large Mahogany Pond Yacht c.1930

About the Item

A fantastic Gaff Cutter pond yacht, lovely “bread and butter“ wood hull construction dating to the first part of the 20th Century. Bread and butter construction is when planks of wood are stacked on top of each other (the bread) and then stuck together with glue (the butter) before being carefully carving the laminated stack into the desired shape. The yacht features chrome fittings and self steering gear, set on a elegant stand. The yacht is an example of British pond racing yacht and would have raced against similar yachts in competitions, club against club, all over Britain, sometimes against overseas clubs as well. Just like in real sailing competitions, to make things equal in the race, waterlines had to be the same length, plus overall area of the sails needed to be the same. This particular yacht is massive, measuring almost 1.5 meters in height. Today these pond yachts are extremely decorative and a great addition to any home.
