ANTIQUE 20thC LARGE ENGLISH POND YACHT c.1910
£1,295.00
A fantastic antique gaff rigged cutter pond yacht, lovely carved hull dating to the first half of the 20th century. The yacht is an 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.
