Thank you for visiting Model Sailboats

Each of these beautiful model sailboats comes completely pre-made, including the completed hull with all of the detail work already in place on the deck. The sails and rigging also come pre-made. The only modest assembly that is required by you is to set up the mast(s), sails and rigging. Written instructions and a diagram illustrate the assembly process. Each of these model sailboats sits on a fine wooden stand included with the sailboat.

Some assembly required on most models.

Fishermen have always been proud of the superiority of their craft. Since the middle of the 19th century, owners of fishing schooners have engaged in keen rivalry to prove their mettle by racing for the Thomas Lipton trophy. Over the years this contest turned into a Canadian-American rivalry. The Bluenose, of Halifax, carried a sailors' nickname for men and boats hailing from Nova Scotia. She was the outstanding champion on the Canadian side. Bluenose was built in Nova Scotia in 1921 to fish the rough waters off the coast of Newfoundland. A salt banker type, she stayed out until her holds were full of fish, using salt to preserve the catch. During Prohibition, she was used as a rum runner. Bluenose was lost off Haiti in 1946.
