The sailing ships of J-class have a length of water line ranging between 23.15 and 26.5 meters, a maximum overall length of 36.6 meters, and a mast of 50 meters maximum. The J-class was defined in 1920 to avoid the race to gigantism of challengers of the America Cup.
Shamrock V was one of the competitors of the America Cup, built in 1930 after plans by architect Charles Nicholson, for the account of Sir Thomas Lipton. It is a J-class ship. A fast ship, Shamrock V lost however during finals of the 15th America Cup, won by the Enterprise defending the American colors.
The model
This model of boat is of museum quality. It is manufactured by hand by Malagasy craftsmen under the direction of Herve Scrive. For an optimal fidelity to the model, the construction of the ship model uses the process of assembly of broadsides on couples (the boards forming the hull are fixed on the couples forming the internal frame of the ship). The bridge of the boat is lathed as on a full scale boat. The hull and the bridge are varnished in several layers. The vessel is made out of exotic wood chosen for their qualities in model making and for their colors.
Each ship model is numbered and accompanied by a historical summary engraved on wood.
This model of boat, assembled by hand during tens or of hundreds of hours of craftmen specialized in hulls manufacturing, rigging, installation of veils etc, is not a kit, but is fully assembled and ready to be admired.
