Repair and Restoration

 

 

Is your prized model in a sad state?

Let me help.

This was a Racing model sailboat An "A" class which is one of the aristocracy of pond yachts. The 75" long model, built in 1936, was raced across ponds. She has a self steering mechanism that helped control her course across the pond.

Her keel was busted off but otherwise was in excellent condition including several full sets of original racing sails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I reattached the keel, smoothed and repainted the bottom to match her original color. My client was so thrilled she decided to keep the boat rather than sell it. She asked me to crate it for shipment to her new home in England.

I copied the lines from this boat and have computer drawn plans available.
