Carved wood racing Yawl
-
Description
A beautifully carved early 20th-century English model of a racing yawl, featuring an elongated hull in richly varnished wood with graceful overhangs and a classic lead keel. Twin masts are rigged with gaff-rigged cream cotton sails and finely detailed lines, complemented by a brass rudder and mounted on a custom wooden display stand.
The craftmanship is meticulous, highlighting traditional boat-building techniques with careful attention to proportions, balance and detail.
A striking example of English maritime craftsmanship, this large-scale model captures the elegance, adventure and speed of traditional competitive sailing. Whether displayed in a coastal inspired interior, a study, library, or collector's space, it offers timeless nautical charm, evoking the romance of the sea and the golden era of sailing regattas. -
