Model Yacht Royal Yacht Britannia 1893

Designed by G. L. Watson, the yacht BRITANNIA was built at the request of Edward VII, Price of Wales at that time. It is considered by the English the most important and representative racing yacht of that time.

It is difficult to conceive a drawing that makes its lines be considered old fashioned. This is the type of hull whose beauty is evident at first sight. The quality of the construction standed up to the time. The rigging, on the contrary, underwent all those modifications that science and the yachts fashion suggested. Intricately detailed. Packaging is extemely secure to allow for a safe passage. Compliments any nautical decor. Great gift for the model ship collector.

This line of model ships is made by highly skilled craftsmen who work with remarkable precision using only the finest materials. These craftsmen have been trained for years to become Master Artisans. Hundreds of hours go into making each model, from the original lofting of plans to the finishing touches. Hull construction is either hand laid-up resin or plank on bulkhead with a selection of precious wood. Deck details are reproduced with custom-made brass and chromed brass castings. Hand sanded hulls are finished with marine varnishes and polyurethane paint.
