The America was an American sailing ship of competition of the 19th century, launched in 1851, which entered history when it gave its name to the first international trophy it gained, 100 Guinea Cup, renamed after this the America Cup. At the time of this race organized in the south of England, the advance of the America on the closest British competitor was so large that when Queen Victoria asked who was second, the race directors answered her that there was none!
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.
