Description:

The Shamrock V is an iconic J-Class sailing yacht, originally built entirely from wood in the 1930s. Now you can own a piece of yachting history — beautifully crafted as a striking display for any home or office.

Each model is handcrafted from scratch by master artisans using historical photographs, drawings, and original plans. Built to scale with premium woods such as western red cedar, rosewood, and mahogany, the model is constructed using the traditional plank-on-frame method, just like real ships. Every piece takes hundreds of hours to complete and must pass a rigorous quality inspection before leaving the workshop.

This edition highlights the elegant framework and full decking details of the Shamrock V. The center deck is fitted with wooden cabins, hatches, and a companionway, along with a realistic miniature lifeboat positioned between the cabins. A metal steering wheel sits aft above the rudder, and winches are placed around the deck to manage the rigging. The meticulously stitched sails and intricate rigging bring the spirit of a true sailing yacht to life.

History:

Shamrock V is the legendary J-Class yacht commissioned by Sir Thomas Lipton (founder of Lipton Tea) to compete in the 1930 America’s Cup. Designed by William Fife III and built by Camper & Nicholsons, it was the first J-Class yacht constructed entirely of wood.

Although it did not win the America’s Cup, Shamrock V became the only wooden J-Class yacht to survive in her original form. Over the decades, she has undergone several major restorations and remains beautifully preserved, still sailing today as a remarkable example of classic yacht design.

Now considered a true maritime treasure, Shamrock V continues to appear at classic yacht events around the world and is admired by collectors, historians, and sailing enthusiasts alike.
