Service vessel; Passenger vessel; Cutter

Scale: not calculated. A model of a thirty-two foot, clinker-built, sloop-rigged, ship’s cutter. Finely made and full of interest it is equipped with a metal centre plate and winch, six thwarts, cockpit with backboard, rudder, tiller, six pairs of oars, mast and sails. It’s large, sturdy and has a bespoke stand, and one wonders whether it was made as a pond model and, if so, how well it would have sailed.
