Lulworth Model Yacht - DG14062 and DG14063

Lulworth Model Display Yacht

A racing cutter with a Dorset connection! This gaff rigged cutter was built in Southampton in 1920 and if you're looking to buy a boat as a present with West Country connections for somebody, this should probably be the one. The boat's name does of course come from the family at Lulworth Castle of current Camp Bestival fame but at one time, the second owners of this beautiful boat. We have connections with Lulworth Castle too, because it's where we walk our dog! The cliff top walk from the village car park to Durdle Door is recommended, but back to the boat... Due to wood shortages after the First World War, the original lower mast had to be made of steel instead of spruce wood. In 1924 the rig had to be re-designed with a wooden lower mast and went on to achieve much racing success. She was saved from the scapheap in 1947 and finally re-launched in 2006 (bit like some of the acts at Camp Bestival). She is now the world's largest racing cutter. This beautiful model of the Lulworth has lovely cloth sails and an attarctive light coloured wooden hull.

This yacht is available in two sizes:

DG14062 - 120cms long x 120cms high - £99 each
DG14063 - 66cms long x 72cms high - £59 each

Lulworth Model Yacht

Three Mast Model Yacht - DG14064

Three Mast Model Display Yacht

The base is 30cms long and 10 cms wide and these boats all come with the hull fixed to the base. Great window display yachts at a fraction of the price sought for them at nautical shops and chandlers. What do we like about these model yachts? The beautiful rigged design of the sails, the detail on the deck and the combination of colours on the hull, a deep burgundy red with lovely deep navy blue. Perfect if you are looking for boat gift ideas.

75 cms long x 65 cms high approx.

£45.00 each

Three Mast Model Yacht

Three Mast Model Yacht - DG14066

Three Mast Model Yacht

These quite traditional three mast yachts boast a rich coloured hull with the bottom of the hull being varnished brown and the top of the hull being black. As with all our yachts and boats, don't be put off by assembling issues. The hull is fixed to the base and the rigging can be easily assembled and has instructions that need be no fewer than a few sentences. We like the traditional sail display and varnished hull. Again, these boats are packed in long boxes which are approximately the maximum length of the boat and the sails and masts are folded above the hull to keep the box smaller and less prone to damage in transit.

83cms long x 70cms high

£49 each

Three Mast Model Yacht

Columbia Yacht - DG14057

Columbia Display Yacht

The racing cutter, The Columbia was designed by Nathaniel Herreshoff and won the America's Cup against Sir Thomas Lipton's "Shamrock". The hull is a lovely nautical brown at the bottom with white to the top and we particularly like the detail on the deck. A nicely sized display yacht with an interesting history and appearance.

60cms long x 60cms high

£35 each

Columbia Display Yacht

Old Fashioned Style Yacht -DG14032

Old Fashioned Style Model Yacht

Another strong selling yacht which is a great size and has been a winner for us, we think because of the neutral cream/off white colour on the hull and the unusual quirky shape of the sails. We had a corporate client order these recently as table centrepieces for a nautically themed dinner. They stood them on a raised base and used a gold leafed pen on the cream part of the hull to write the name of each guest on the table. Or...you can just put one in the window!!

40 cm long x 58 cm high

£39 each

Old Fashioned Style Model Yacht

Rustic Style Wooden Model Yacht - DG7538

Definitely everybody's favourite small model yacht this season and an eye catching new design with a rustic looking white, blue and red colouring complementing the interesting tied wooden sails. We love them, so does the Solent Scene pleasure boat in the background heading straight towards us having taken passengers on a sunny trip around the five islands of Poole Harbour! We got out the way just in time. These give a nautical splash of just the right colour for little presents, furnishings or corporate uses. Check out the hull, which is deep and wide enough to write a message or name for weddings or other corporate occasions. We have recently sent these to a national interior home magazine so expect the demand to be high over the coming months. Another one of our winners!

Approx 11cm long, 12 cm high and 2cm deep.

Wooden Sloop Yacht Models

These are perhaps our best small wooden decorative model display yachts for table decorations, wedding parties or favours and come with four different coloured hulls - red, blue, green and black. If you look at the hull you'll notice there is a white painted lower part of the hull which our customers have used to write guest names for place settings. Gold leaf pen works best! As these sloops are approximately 5 inches long the hull is the prefect size for a small wedding or party message. These sleek little sloops are versatile and make for great nautical decorations on their own if you're sailing away from a wedding. Pretty cloth sails and the deck is about an inch wide. One of our prettiest small model yachts and one definition of a Royal Navy sloop is a small ship intended for "gunboat diplomacy"! Maybe now we can see why they are popular at weddings with the future in-laws at the table! A popular wooden yacht for window dressing or as a shelf yacht.

5 inches long and 5 inches high.

£3.99 each

J-Class Model Yachts

These superb decorative model display yachts have been painstakingly sourced over many years by our local supplier who we consider the market leaders for these type of model yacht and who, we have also been dealing with for nearly ten years now. They make excellent gifts and central features for the home or workplace. The J-Class yachts were originally designed between 1930 and 1937 and only ten were ever built in America and England. They were considered the best sailing yachts in the world and were sent to compete successfully in the Americas Cup. These were clearly one of the world's most beautiful class of yacht and these latter day models will create maritime interest wherever they are moored! A perfect alternative to more traditional historical boats these are increasing in popularity year on year. A great yacht gift for the sailing enthusiast.

J-Class Model Yacht - 14040 Maroon/Blue

J-Class Model Yacht

Another elegant racing yacht for displaying in a nautically themed room. These come with the rich maroon red and blue hull, with thin white lines and a simply detailed hull in line with our racing yachts. It's worth mentioning that we do also sell traditional boats online. All our boats come boxed and can be simply assembled. Bases are fixed to hulls. Please add a note in our "Additional Instructions" box on checkout if you are sending this as a gift and we will of course ensure that no invoices etc are left in the packaging.

J-Class Rainbow - red and blue hull

J-Class Rainbow Model Yacht

Designed by William Burgess and launched in 1934, the Rainbow was built to defend the America's Cup against The Endeavour, but unfortunately it didn't happen. She was owned by millionaire railroad tycoon Harold Vanderbilt and sadly sold for scrap in 1940. This is our second best selling yacht and customers seem to like the red lower and blue upper hull. It's sleek and we like the simple tall sails. We also like the Paul McCartney song "Mrs Vanderbilt" and will now research her relationship with Harold, who was called Mike by his friends and family.

52 cms Length x 68 cms High

£49 each

J-Class Rainbow Model Yacht

J-Class Enterprise

J-Class Enterprise Model Yacht

Enterprise was one of the American J Class yachts and built in 1930. Her towering majestic rigs would have left race watchers spellbound in that golden era of big race sailing. On our models we like the bright white sails and blue and white hull. You will also note a pencil thin red line on the white painted part of the hull. A classic racing yacht.

£49 each

J-Class Enterprise Model Yacht

J-Class Vigilant - DG 14047

J-Class Vigilant Display Model Yacht

We think these warrant a brighter spot in the home as the sails are a crisp bright white with a dashing red and white hull - a modern looking racing boat. She's big too with a lot of height so do carefully measure the space the Vigilant will occupy. Our boats do of course all come complete with a fixed stand unless otherwise mentioned and all you need to do is insert the mast in to the hull and arrange the rigging.

80 cms length x 85 cms height

Our Favourite Window Display Yachts

We have used this as a group description for our 6 favourite yachts pictured and priced below. "Window Display Yachts" is quite a general description but these are to be found in cottages and houses as window display items along country lanes backing on to the Dorset coast. Perhaps we have sold some of them to the owners - we'll have to check the descriptions against internet orders! We stock about 20 different types of window display boats in this range but these are our most popular half a dozen and we offer bulk discounts for corporate or larger orders so when ordering more than 6 please email us at info@dorsetgifts.com for a "best price" beforehand. These boats are of the same quality and design as those you may have seen in city stores, but probably half the price. Our own favourite is the 3 mast traditional yacht!
