Crusader (1929); Recreation vessel; Yacht; Motor
Scale: 1:48. A contemporary half block plating model for the motor yacht Crusader (1929). The hull is constructed from several planks of wood in bread and butter fashion and varnished overall. It has a pronounced sheer with a slightly concave and angle bow running aft onto a flat keel, which finally finishes with an angled skeg with a propeller shaft on either side. The stern curves upwards finishing in a rounded canoe shape to a flush deck. The hull is annotated with a series of fittings and measurements which are used to calculate the dimensions and positioning of the plating in relation to the frames. The whole model is mounted on rectangular wooden backboard with a varnish finish and is inscribed with the yard number "No.361" in black ink.
