Antique Model Yacht, Ketch Sailboat C.A. 1970's Restored

Very nice, handmade antique yacht that was recently supplied to us by one of our collectors.
This all wood, varnished and chestnut stained yacht measures 29"L x 24"H x 6"L.
It is a great mid-sized antique in showroom condition, that would look outstanding in any room of the home or business place.

The sails are original, but we did totally replace the rigging and some key components.
Many of the accent accessories are original, made of brass and copper.

As with all of our vintage yachts, we ship partially disassembled for safe "FREE " shipping.
We will include minor assembly instructions and also email you pictures to assist you in assembly.
