Description:
Y025 – Enterprise Small Sailboat Model (America’s Cup)
Our Enterprise Small Sailboat Model is a true celebration of America’s Cup heritage, handcrafted with precision and artistry. Built plank on frame from the finest mahogany and teak, every strip of wood is carefully assembled by master craftsmen to replicate the graceful lines of the legendary Enterprise yacht of 1930.
The hull shines with a smooth, hand-sanded finish, while the deck showcases detailed wooden features including the mast, boom, and bunkers, all accented with finely stitched front and main sails. The rigging is meticulously arranged to highlight the authenticity of this historic racing yacht. The model is enhanced with metal railings, steering components, and fittings, avoiding plastic entirely for lasting quality and elegance.
Resting on a solid painted wooden stand, the Enterprise is further distinguished by a polished nameplate engraved with “Enterprise 1930”. Compact in size yet rich in detail, this model makes a striking display piece for desktops, shelves, or nautical collections.
Delivered with the mast folded down for safe shipping, this model requires only minimal assembly, allowing you to quickly showcase a piece of sailing history. If you prefer a ready-to-display option, you can choose the Y025F – Enterprise Small Sailboat Fully Assembled.
Whether as a gift, collector’s item, or centerpiece décor, the Enterprise Small Sailboat Model embodies the spirit of competition, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
History:
Responded to Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger Shamrock V, four syndicates of Americans commissioned, at great cost, their own contenders. Starling Burgess led the effort for one of the New York syndicates. He promptly engaged the Wizard of Bristol, Nat Herreshoff, dean of American yacht designing, as his adviser. Together, they designed the largest and fastest racing machine ever seen and named her the Enterprise. This great and gorgeous J-boat was eighty feet long at the water line and sported a heavy keel with two centerboards. Her great 162-foot mast tapered from one and one-half feet at the base to nine inches at the top. It was made of two hollow tubes of aluminum and was supported by a large array of stays and rigging. Below deck she had two dozen winches for handling lines. Enterprise made short work of the other three would-be defenders of the Cup and was chosen to take on Shamrock V off Newport, Rhode Island. There, in September 1930, she went on to win a clean sweep of four races, maintaining the 80 year record of uninterrupted possession of Americas Cup.

Comment: The model was expertly finished and packaged for shipment. The instructions would be greatly improved if they included photos of the way the rigging should look from all sides. Other than that, I was very pleased with the product.

Comment: Real nice ship. Even every strong in it works so you can lower and the sails for assembly. A little intimidating when first removed from the package, but with some patience and knowing you can adjust all the strings on it, it will go together pretty easy
