Vintage Classic Nova Scotia Clipper Sailboat, Yacht C.A. 1980's

Originating in the province of Nova Scotia, this vintage, totally restored sloop schooner will definitely "turn heads" when displayed in your office or home.

This fine yacht originated from a collector who has used our site to sell 2 others in his collection.
He purchased it in Montreal, Canada in the early 1980's on a vacation. It's been in his collection since then.

This is a large yacht, measuring 39"L x 6"W x 48"H (In its stand). It has a brilliantly stained main deck made of maple. The partially painted Burgandy colored hull is a nice accent to the maple finish both on the main deck and upper hull area. It is Gaff rigged with 4 sails.

During its restoration, we added some very attractive brass and copper fittings, keeping most of the rigging original.
When I do my restorations, it is very important to me to keep as much originality present during restoration. It adds to its increasing investment value and does compliment the entire yacht.
This yacht has some nice history, and it will sell quickly as did the others from this collector.
