MID 20thC ENGLISH BERMUDAN SLOOP RACING WOOD & METAL POND YACHT c.1950
Mid-20th Century bermudan sloop pond yacht, with a lovely carved two tone hull. The yacht is a great 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.

Today these pond yachts are extremely decorative and a great addition to any home. This particular yacht is massive, measuring nearly two meters in length. Planked on frame construction, this yacht would have been part of the Pond Yacht Club scene, competing in Britain and internationally with other similar yachts.
