Description:

Originally launched in 1869, the Cutty Sark became one of the fastest and most celebrated tea clippers in maritime history. Revered for her sleek lines and record-setting voyages, she remains an enduring icon of the age of sail.

This Cutty Sark Limited Edition model is a museum-quality masterpiece, meticulously handcrafted to capture the vessel’s grace and engineering in extraordinary detail. The hull is constructed using the traditional plank-on-frame technique, featuring rich tones of Western Red Cedar, mahogany, and teak. Each plank is carefully shaped, sanded, and laid by hand, producing a flawlessly smooth finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.

The rigging system is a work of art in itself. Every line, knot, and pulley is individually tied by skilled artisans, forming an intricate network of standing and running rigging that mirrors the complexity of the real clipper. The sails are hand-stitched from fine quality fabric, mounted with precision to ensure correct curve, angle, and tension—capturing the aerodynamic elegance that made Cutty Sark a legend of speed.

On deck, the craftsmanship continues with a wealth of miniature components: polished brass railings, detailed capstans, ladders, skylights, deckhouses, and meticulously carved wooden planks. The lifeboats are hand-planked with tiny ribs; the helm, binnacle, vents, and windlass are crafted with remarkable authenticity. Even the bow features the iconic Cutty Sark figurehead, recreated in exacting detail.

Brass cannons, navigation lights, chain plates, and deck fittings are custom-made and polished to a gleaming finish, contributing to a luxurious, premium display quality. The bowsprit and masts are reinforced and fully rigged, accurately reproducing the clipper’s towering sail plan.

This Limited Edition model comes fully assembled, mounted on a solid wood base with a brass nameplate. Every element reflects OMH’s dedication to historical accuracy and artisanal excellence, making it a truly standout centerpiece for collectors and maritime enthusiasts alike.

History:

The Cutty Sark, launched in 1869 at Dumbarton, Scotland, was one of the last and fastest tea clippers ever built. Designed at the height of the tea trade, she was engineered for speed, with a sleek hull and a powerful sail plan intended to race across the oceans and deliver the first tea of the season to London—a competition of prestige and profit.

During her early years, Cutty Sark became renowned for her remarkable voyages between China and England. Although she never won the famous tea race outright, her consistent speed and ability to endure harsh seas earned her a respected place among the world’s great sailing ships. As steamships took over the tea trade, she shifted to transporting wool from Australia, where she set records that remained unmatched by her contemporaries.

By the early 20th century, Cutty Sark had retired from commercial service and eventually became a training ship. She was preserved in Greenwich, London, where she remains today as one of the world’s most famous and best-kept historic ships—a symbol of the golden age of clippers, celebrated for her beauty, craftsmanship, and exceptional speed.
