From the Thirties, many American models of runabouts were launched, in particular by the Chris Craft company, whose name became synonymous with pleasure of sailing. All these motor boats, Triple Cockpit Barrel Back, Barrel back, Runabout, Capri, Cobra were characterized by their racé look, their finishing in varnished mahogany tree or exotic wood , their luxurious lathed bridge and leather seats and their powerful motorization. They are as legendary today as the Italian runabouts of the Sixties.
Dixie II is one of oldest the American runabouts. Its plans go back to 1906, they are the work of George Lawley & sounds, in Boston (Massachussetts). Very fine, this fast, strongly motorized boat was 12 m long. It won the Harmsworth trophy in 1906, 1908 and 1910.
The model
This model is produced by hand by Vietnamese craftsmen starting from hard exotic wood. The hull is built in broadsides on couples (boards fixed on the reinforcement). The level of detail is excellent, and finishing is superb. This model of boat is not in kit, but is directly ready to be admired.
